Yeah thinking I should do mine now lol
it really has come out far better than I thought it could,
didn't need much prep a quick flatoff with a scotch pad bit of panel wipe and get painting!!

really pleased with the overall finish and performed really well at slab on sunday.
thanks for all the positive comments on sunday :)
And a big thankyou to my brother matt for all his hard work,def couldnt have done it on my own :)
