Up to Duncan for a respray :D

I do not expect it back for a while as he has to remove Dan's modifications that occurred during the last Auto Test, and whatever else is needed.

I will post some pics later of the before, and the progress, and of course after.

Magnolia is OK isn't it? :D

B&Q own brand magnolia is good value if you've got a large area to do. You may want some polyfilla too.

Cheers mate, I just like the fact it is unique on a GT4 so far, and done with passion in mind, not cost cutting. I think Duncan will do a fantastic job :D

That's a nice orange, Paul Bartollo (rip) had a nice orange ST205, Irish Paul purchased it eventually and turned it into a beast of a car, don't know if he still has it or not?

Are you going for a two tone black/orange paint scheme? The orange looks almost dayglo 8)

Yeh, it is not a million miles from the original paint color and effect,
but the original paint was over £200 per litre, and almost impossible to match up as
it is a three layer process.

Base, effect, lacquer.

This paint is a lot cheaper, and a one coat over base coat, so it does not matter how thick or thin it is applied (within reason),
The effect should be the same and it should just blend in, should I need it? Dan has not found my keys has he?

Duncan is doing a fantastic job, and keeping me updated with the progress as it happens.

Happy Days :D

Its been a long time since Ive thought that about a ford

Good colour choice :D

Not sure why, but 'clockwork orange' has just popped into my head.
