Cheers guys for all the compliments...was a very hard choice at start, getting rid of the iconic white Spec C Type RA, but getting the job gone was even harder.
I used Brookside Garage in Rochadale, av used them for years for cosmetic work, top guys and get a top job done.
It was difficult getting the right mix for a matte finish, it took us 3 attempts.
Sprayed it the first time and it just settle as satin, not matte. Second time we got the matte, but every panel dried into a different shade. Finally we got adviced the Bentley matte spray works well and third time lucky, it did
I gotta say though, if anyones lucking to go matte, Brookside would be top choice, they've tried and tested all sorts.

Now that i have the thumbs up from you guys (was lil worried it might not be liked) i need to finish it off.
I'm thinkin to gloss black the door handles, already have a custom cut mesh for the lower frnt bumper, goes deeper in than the rb320, same finish as top mesh with pink lining.
Still cant get hold of genuine type RA door decals, any suggestions?
Was think of some pin striping along the side, but where does it go?
Any other tips, please let me know.
