oh absolutely... i think i mentioned the quality of the original paintwork in my post, i didn't have shed loads of RDS (random deep scratches) to worry about which helped massively.

the chances of finding a 20+ year old car, in its original state, that only needs a single pass machine polish to make it look this good are probably in the region of 10,000:1 or maybe less.

can't wait to work on it again.

I sometimes tell people that Jade Green can take on the appearance of Chrome! when its highly polished that is... the comment is usually met with a vacant stare, as they wonder what I'm actually on about!
Jade is a very understated colour, dark enough to deeply reflect the sky and clouds, yet the grey/green seems to disappear as its over powered rich reflections, leaving the paint almost colourless...



Great job Guy... but to be fair, the car was mint to start with

I know... its a lovely colour and when you look at it very closely when it is clean, polished and has the sun on it, it has a kind of pearlescent effect deep within it... hard to describe but it is a very mesmerising paint to look at...

and yes... it was mint to start with, mostly, just needed a little bit of lovin to bring it back to showroom
