Big paint update!

Got a txt from Gaz when i come out the cinema tonight much to my delight
(after watching Harry Potter lol)

So soon as i got indoors i went online and uploaded the pics Gaz emailed me

Here is the underside,engine bay and inside fully painted

It has come out exactly as i planned going by the photo's, very dark underneath and in rear of engine bay so will hide the dirt and nice and light in the easily seen area's, same on the inside, should help to keep it looking more presentable down the line, if i had gone for white it would of looked lovely for 5 minutes but been stained and dirty looking before the car was even on the road.

First off i asked Gaz to neaten the gear selector hole as it was a little rough and was worth straightening before painting

It must of been a real pig to paint the inside so fair play to Gaz, top notch mate, well impressed and the best is still to come with the outside

Thanks
