looks good Andrew
I also meant to ask, with the inside of the guards (only visible when the doors are open) and the insides of the door(not the dorro itself) but the part around the door, i guess it is the B pillar, front and rear??? How hard is it to paint this area, do i have to mask things off etc? the car is currently stripped of the insides except for hood liner and some dash bits, column etc etc......anyone have an idea?
cheers

Hi Jim,
some pics of the finish of my car are below:

As can be seen the finish is pretty good, and backs up what
Richard has said. Having said that though, some little bubbles have
cropped up recently in a couple of areas. Richard checked this out
on the weekend, and said it occured from where thinners have
leached out from the underlying paint or something like that, so I
will be having a word to the panelbeater when it gets on the road...
Again evidence of the importance of taking the utmost care during
preparation.
