Oh no! The paint is all blurry. Did the painter forget to wear his glasses that day? [:D][:D][:D]

Seriously though, it looks like a very nice finish. It seems a bit lighter in tone to Beans' car but it could just be the light. Are you happy with it?

Never say die. At least not while you're still breathing.

Its just the light in the garage i think !! i said the same about beans car , ive only just had here back about an hour ago , and it was dark , will take some pics in daylight tommorrow , amber was triton before persion aqua , and the colour seems to match the old paint around the windscreen where it was still triton , so i guess its spot on triton !! zoe

wow, the car should look great once shes put back together and out in the sun!

You've been through a lot of stress getting this done, it must be satisfying to see the car get to this stage!!!

surprised the shop put the decals on already though, it's usually better to let the paint fully cure beforehand, otherwise the solvents usually tend to cause bubbling under the vynil graphics

Don't rush putting it back together or you'll scratch the paint.[:)] I suspect Triton green is one of those colours that will show a dozen different shades when photographed depending on the light. The down side of getting your car painted is now you'll be parking at the far side of the parking lot and taking the long walk to the pub/store. It doesn't work. There is always some wanker who parks his junker/whoopdee inches from you despite the half empty lot.[:(]
