Its painted..... I properly wont be updating this thread anymore though as there doesn't seem to be enough interest to keep updating. So all updates will be in the RSOC resto section.

Thanks, just getting another flat and polish with the machine as my first attempt didnt turn out as great as i'd of liked..... I've been going over a panel a few times and the finish is looking even better. Ive binned the side moulding for an all black one as the XR3i one kept coming off.(pic in the link)

My friend painted it in a workshop of his friends, couple of dirt inclusions but beats paying £3000 for a full paint job. Just cost me materials and some cash for his time. Ive had to flatten and polish the paint myself.
