Well I'd really hoped to get this done for the show, but I dropped the car off today with the guy that did some paintwork on my BMW coupe.
There were some nasty scrapes on the doors - in particular the rear passenger side, but also on the driver's door. He's worked some magic I tell you, and at the same time he got a dent guy out who pulled some of the bigger dings and ripples out. I also got him to paint the wheel hubs and calipers. Then he returned the car to later having been waxed and machine polished so even my crappy rattle can spray effort on the mirror covers has come up like glass.
Still has her issues and the lacquer is peeling in a number of small areas that only a full respray will address - but - I reckon she looks pretty good now.
