Ok martin no worries as that's what you wanted, but the fact it's flat polished and no orange peel would be a larger give away to me.
Looks very nice all the same

Here are a couple more shots (the car's fairly dusty here) and these will be the last photos I post but I am looking forward to plenty more from Martin

why do people think that a mirror like reflection means its a good paintjob?
there could be fook all paint on there and it still look like a mirror!
the hard work is in the prep, if you do the prep right and are a good painter then there should be very minimal flatting and polishing..
hope it lives up to all the hype Martin?

I'm pretty sure Jacko doesn't need to justify his professionalism on here to anyone, the work he's done on plenty of people's cars should be enough
Christ that gets used hard

A little progress 
Jacko did a really nice job of the prep and paint but both doors were annoying me as there were minor (and I do mean minor!) imperfections in the paint so I decided to get the old painter Martoon out of the cupboard and armed with 1500/2000 grit paper and my mop with G3/G10 compound then hand polish I ended up with doors I'm happy with. I know Jacko could have done this but he was working his ass off to get it sorted and me texting probably wasn't helping 
So am I happy, yes 
Btw ignore the tin of T Cut, I didn't use that!
Decided not to put it on coil overs as the rear springs always make a noise every now and then as they rub on the body, so Koni's it is. I had a mooch and found that I had a used rear pair on the shelf and after a clean they look fine (wow I'm saving money!). So I only had to buy fronts
What the hell is that on the roof?
