Here are some other pictures of the paint process from after the primer in my previous post through to flatting the lacquer and polishing it back up to show you the detail in Ray's work.

The bumpers freshly painted before flatting and finishing:

Flatting on the rear 1/4 and then a comparison of the door which has been polished back up to the flatting on the 1/4:

The insides of my arches after Ray has rolled them and re-sealed them:

Finally...I might buy Ray a set of spoons for the tea and coffee as this one looks a bit over used and I was worried that I'd die every time I used it!

I know The car has been parked up for so long they are actually a lot better in those pics than they were! Any ideas how I can clean the rest of the rust off?

The only reason it's a replica is because Veilside don't make them anymore
