Cracking effort mate, sure it will all be worth it on the end!! You can instantly tell by your most recent pics that the quality and care of the workmanship will result in a quality job. Looking forward to seeing it all finished.

I'm surprised this hasn't been on sky news by now finally the outcome you've been waiting for, and goes to show a decent place won't take months to paint a car

A dent inwards is a low spot
A dent outwards is a high spot...

Looks nice in fresh paint...
