Not sure on the colour, also why did they mask so much, you would get a better finish if they removed the door latches etc, if ever you adjust them you will get the old colour showing through.  :smiley:

Looks loads better and I suppose thats all that matters

buzzing, yep :D

pics dont really show the color off like in the flesh, but the color has come out exactly as i wanted it too, its the perfect blue i was looking for, so well chuffed!

yeah there we're lazy in that aspect, but they werent going to take out the window rubber or remove the tailgate or do under the bonnet, etc or do any of the prep work so i have got much more than what i bargained for! Its a favor job.....

yeah i couldnt argue as they had done more than i expected. They masked off the windscreen. I was going to remove it as i need a new windscreen but i never got round to it lol.

the tailgate was removed is being sprayed next week, i guess they will just mask the glass off.

finish is very good and they still have to polish it up and finish it off.

its hard to tell with this sort of paint in the pics really as its changes in different lights, its hard enough with normal paints tbh!
