a few from the nats 2009

Did you cut and polish it after painting or where you didnt have time because of the Nats?

maybe 1/3 of it has been cut and polished. you can kinda see that it hasn't in some of the pics.

i think i might just clar bar, and wax it and leave it at that, not sure i can be bothered wetsanding everything! although i need to do some touch ups, few stones chips from the roadtrip i want to get rid of.

I don't want to be an .e but the paint is looks really dull in all the pics.

It would be really worth it if you did a full cut and polish, definatly worth a day of work, you put so much time in to painting it i think it deserves a miky finish
If you remember how my roof was basically matte pink and after a proper cut and polishing it turn out like glass, bright red glass, ready for dovw.

If you need a hand man let me know.

yea, don't worry, i'm aware it looks crap. Just need to find the motivation really. Got plenty of time off over the hols, might do it then, who knows.
