Boot its amazin in the light and watched them make it and you wouldn't belive the colours that go in to it!! no gold at all!!!!!!
Yeah it is strange paint, if I look very closely at my car it looks like its got orange, red, brown and green in it, maybe some yellow but stand a few metres away and it just looks black with gold flip.
I hope you can get some good photos that do the colour justice.

Wow is about all I can say. I just joined recently and had to only take my motor out on a k8. Cant imagine ever trying this. ITs an outstanding job Such a pity that Im from South Acfrica. Would have loved to see this with my own eyes. A picture will never show the true nice colour of a pearl paint. Well done so far mate

That's a point, I'm only round the corner liam - wouldn't mind seeing this when you're all done.

If you dare ride it that is!

Haven't see the paint yet, but have seen the rest of the handy work, and can guarantee you folks, the photos just don't capture the full glory of this work.
