Looks like it might be ready next week...

The stripes are being painted on, and I've only got these photos so far, but the GT silver looks perfect to me. Everything will then be lacquered over so smooth to touch, and then the car finally reassembled.

Booked a 1600 mile round trip to Spa for 25th April, so will make up for lost time. Very, very impatient now..!

I hate to ask as I know in Europe owners tend to "respray" the noses of their cars often, instead of using PPF like we do in USA... here respraying is considered an inconceivable horror.

But are you going to PFF it, or you going to let it all hang out and just go full Monty?

Very close now, and I have got final pics before it will be finished. Stripes are all painted on in GT silver w/black sides.

I'm planning to collect immediately after Easter, and will be at Spa the following week of all goes to plan.

Opinions will differ, but it'slooking perfect to me; exactly how I imagined it, and it's been well worth the effort.
(Even if they have temporarily mis-spelt my Reg plate! It should say NO PDK, not NO POK; 66 is the year designation)

Tempted to drive around as nature intended, but a friend of mine has a very good PPF business so I know he will look after it.

Not doing it immediately as want to make sure everything is painted properly and bedded down, but likely to do so in May. If the stripes weren't painted I would have left it.
