Just got the car back from the painter on Friday. Pretty happy with the job. It's about 95% right, but that extra 5% would've cost me another 50%!!! :)

It's basically the same colour as before, but the painter seems to have forgotten what colour I told him it was, so he just mixed up his own. Turns out it's actually a bit nicer than before, a little more green in it I think.

Big news though is the flake job on the roof. I used House Of Kolor Abalone flake over a white base. Painters did a great job and as you see it is 'straight off the gun'.

Much nicer paint than before and now with 'Extra Sparkle!  ;D

You can't quite tell the colour change from these pics, but it shines a greeny/gold and various shades of blue and turquoise. I find myself just standing there looking at it. There's definitely something about metalflake!

Feels pretty strong, but I haven't really given it a good tune-up yet. Still sorting out a few glitches, but if it slower, it's not by much. :)

Nice paint--if it is slicker-less wind resistance--should be faster :D
