Paintwork...

Time's flying past again, I know there hasn't been an update for a while, but with good reason. Another significant milestone is passed and the paintwork is finished. It took 4 weeks in total but the job was started earlier than planned when another job was delayed. The work was carried out by Option 1 Sportscars (I have no connection with them). Option 1 are specialists in fibreglass work and I think it shows in the results. Below are a few pictures during and after the work.

The colour I chose was OdysseyRed with silver stripes, it's quite subtle, but has a good variation of shade depending on the light, it emphasises the car's curves without too much bling (there's plenty of chrome work to add the bling). The varying shades reflect ambient light and weather conditions, the pearl metallic isn't too showy but up close in bright it has a deep sparkle. There's a few images below to give a flavour.

As you can see from the pictures I've also been refitting the brightwork, it's easier to put it back with no need for measuring and drilling, but a much more careful process knowing you have expensive paintwork to protect..
