here you go, a little sneak peak of the paintwork of the golf





now this is what the panel should look like
before on an audi A3


after on the audi A3


sorry about the poor quality of the first pics of the golf but they were just quick ones for ya.

that audi A3 i thought was the worst paintwork i have seen so far but this golf is twice as bad

worked my magic steve :smug:

Menz FG500 and a mix of 3M FC+ with a lake country yellow cutting pad. refined the finish with 85RD to bring back the clarity the paint should have, total time on the car was 36 hours but also included painting of brake calipers, servicing etc
