To be honest, I think it looks so MEAN that I would have left it that way. However I guess in the event of a crash my insurance company would subtract GBP 2,000 from the claim - so I am forced to repaint.

I am painting with compressor and gun, I was OK at spraying when I was at college but that is a few years passed.

 

I cannot agree more about Lightening McQueen, well I hope that is why children point at my car as I drive past.

You'll find once you get into it it'll all come flooding back. Not to difficult just take your time

If it comes flooding back I'd recommend fewer coats.
