lol no ya blind sod.....i took door mirror off :lol:

seriously i've had some trouble with this, i was going candy blue over pearl black.....ran out of paint..so i changed and ran out of that. eventually i just mixed all the dark colours i had into one and added a load of base coat bright silver. the color is fantastic i doubt a camera in the world to capture it. and i never saw this color before either ;) in different lights it changes. bright sunlight its bright gun metal silver, in low light its like a bronzy green and in medium light its like a khaki green metallic

That’s one way to solve the problem of sticker residue!

The colour is superb, and its such an eye catching colour and suits it when you see it in the metal.

But as usual Dave a damn fine job again.. Cant wait till we go out in it now and turn a few heads :wink: :wink:
