little update
this week hasnt been a good week as the bodyshop got broken into monday night, luckily nothing of mine wasnt touched but they knocked the spoliers, mirrors, 1 sideskirt and 1 morrette lamp cover, so these need to be repainted
but i went down today and he had just put the 2nd coat of base on and i was allowed in to take a look so took a few pics, he must of put about 8 coats on, i then went into take a look and i noticed a small run under the door mirror part on the door, this is shit considering it was the last coat before laquer, only to find out the run was in the primer
it was then flatted but he ran out of paint to build it up, so its getting done first thing in the morning as im collecting the car at 3pm so hopefully all the bits will be done aswell
anyhow 3 picss for ya until tomorrow

update, the shell has been painted at last, it was supose to come home today but it is now comming home on monday
i was down there today while they laquered it taking them 6 hrs to do it and using a full gallon of laquer lol
it will be mopped on monday ready for me to bring hom
the bits that got damaged will be painted again tomorrow and polished on monday aswell and i brought a few bits home that were ready aswell
so i got some pics of it after it was laquered in the booth, some with flash some without hence the mad colour changes, but the shine is very deep and im very happy with it
here are some pics
only downside is they forgot to do my arches inside again, so i will do these over winter and a bit on the front panel, i wasnt going to mention it as ii want the car back as its been almost 7 months now

well little update, the shell wasnt ready today as the paint hadnt fully ahrdened so they only started mopping it today and theer was only 1 lad in there so i helped with the flatting to get the shell ready for tomorrow, its getting picked up tomorrow at 1pm wether they like it or not, i found a couple things im not happy with but ill sort this out myself
1 is the paint was still tacky and when they lifted the bonnet it lifted the sealent they put on the wings so no sealent on wings as its on the bonnet
2 - found a new dent on my tailgate, this will be repaired by a sepcialist when the car is back together
3 inner arches havnt been painted, not a problem as this is easily sorted
4 - i may have to repaint the engine bay as im not happy with it
now i really should just get them to sort it out, but they have had my car for 7 months roughly maybe longer, and for what i paid i shouldnt grumble lol, but those things i can sort myself as its easy enough
anyhow some pics of the stage its at
car flatted ready
tailgate had a test mop before i got there as the lad wanted to see what it was going to shine like
the reflection in the tailgate
and reflection in the roof
dont get me wrong i am over the moon with what they have done, just annoyed its taking so long but then there is only 2 of them and they have abuisness to run and i did say take ya time lol, but stupid mistakes will happen
more pics tomorrowwhen its back home and fully mopped
