New paint job

Post by Millhouse1 »

After 8 years of ownership I finally decided to have some of the car repainted. Have been wanting to keep it original, but any closer than 2-3 metres away and the paintwork was pretty shabby. Scratches, blemishes, nicks, places where the clear coat was wearing through due to excessive polishing trying to improve it :P I'm very happy with the finished product. Has made a world of difference.

Fantastic job, garage looks pristine as well. Are you a surgeon perhaps?

Haha yes, I'll admit I'm a neat freak, and also not much of a handyman or mechanic, so the garage is not used as a workshop. Cheeky, but I can take it on the chin :D
