Getting my B back on monday, went to see it today it is now painted , he is telling me he has put a top coat on it gratis . The car looks mad all stripped down but looks all smooth without a blemish on the car between now and monday 5pm car will be put back together and buffed and polished , i shall be asking him on monday the best way to maintain the paint as not to damage or mark it when washing/waxing

 

[LittleRedB]

Excellent, really looking forward to the piccies!

Looks great Ricky

I should have used your guy I got a call from the garage today telling me it is going to the paintshop on wednesday and I can get it back next week. Only trouble is I am away for 2 weeks to florida so I cant collect it :bang:

You seem to have a better knowledge of bodywork than me. Do you fancy a trip to perth to inspect the car with me when I get back. I have a nasty feeling I am going to get screwed somewhere down the line

 

[ricky952]

Watty my knowledge is no better than anyone else i stumbled upon this guy by accident he seemed confident in doing the job so based on trust i made sure he got the job rather than some approved repairer and my judgement has paid off but i have put a grand of my own money in aswell, when are you going to perth

 

[ricky952]

Cheers Lee i shall drive to goodwood in bubble wrap , because its black is going to be hard work to keep in this condition

 

[docorangepeel]

Money well spent me thinks Ricky Stay away from the local Tesco carpark and driving behind lorries.

 

[RnRollie]

also need a very loud exhaust to keep the birds away

dont park under a tree

throw away sponge , buy a wash mitt

look here and here for tips to keep it in that condition

 

[BIKER-BITZ]

Great paint job Ricky - keeping Black looking good is a real bummer

Good links rnrollie

I knew that I was keeping sheep for a reason - wash mits all round then

Very nice. I do like the de-badged look on the front. People always try to figure out what the car is anyway.

 

[ricky952]

Good tips rollie i will invest in one of those lambswool mitts , ialways rinse the car with a garden hose type attachment , i will now be giving it a pre rinse before i start the wash

 

[ricky952]

Cheers Doc , I always park well away from everyone when shopping ,but when i return back to the car there is always cars parked left and right is this just me

 

[doolahrock]

Wow Ricky, that really looks superb.

Makes feel I definately need to get my rear dent sorted out before the September Barchetta Scotland run.
