Things have spiralled from just having arches done to this
Well as you all know my car went in Monday to have the arches sorted as they had started to bubble and everytime I went to the paint shop I thought of something else I wanted done so here's whats happening now
Arches all cut out and replaced with frsh steel on both sides
All panels repaired and free of ll dents and any scratches
whole car flatted, primed and repainted in mica blue
Car should look very nice when its finished which is taking a lot longer now than i initially thought but the way I see it is while its in I might as well have it all do

So went down to the painters today and got there just as they were finishing the base coat and stayed while they did the first 2 coats of laquer, to say I'm was happy is an understatment, the car now looks very straight and the shine is something else.
Take a look its all still gun fresh and has to be flatted and machine polished, I'm getting the roof, spoiler and bootlid flatted and polished just not painted so the whole car is going to be machine polished.

I Shall let the pictures speak for themselves, I'm very pleased with the finish it looks very straight and shiny now.
It ended up costing just short of a grand to have both sides painted including repairs to the outer and inner arches which turned out to be a lot worse than I and the painter expected and the bonnet painted and the rest of the panels flatted and polished.
