**BriC** · 28-11-2008, 18:40

I know you do

**BriC** · 05-12-2008, 16:34

BTW, Andy.. Did I tell you that your car is a major influence into what I'm having done on my car?

**dave-sbs** · 05-12-2008, 17:07

After spending a day wet flatting the inside rear and the engine bay ( a crappy job in this weather i tell thee ) i got it all smooth as craig david

then donned some funny citreon colour , which just is'nt red

and then some loverly clear coat

**dave-sbs** · 05-12-2008, 17:08

And the out side will get done this next week

**Mudslinger** · 05-12-2008, 17:25

looks nice job m8

whats the colour ? it looks very like that of millers maybe not quite as greeny is it a sort of pearl / flip though ?

**rs250nut** · 05-12-2008, 17:28

Nice job with all the sound proofing gone.The colour looks a bit like nuvola blue, I do miss painting cars

**BriC** · 05-12-2008, 17:30

I fcuking love that colour.. I would have had it that colour, but it's pearlescent, so a lot more expensive.. Plus Dave said it would be a ball ache to paint

**Mudslinger** · 05-12-2008, 17:34

whats the score with the paint these days , can you only buy water based paint now?

how does this affect getting a good match between if most of the car is oil based paint ,and especially a pearl ??

**dave-sbs** · 05-12-2008, 18:06

I can only get the waterbased paint now , you should have no problem matching your paint as all colours have been re formulated into non solvent .

As far as i can work out , the biggest losers are those with the flip paints as alot of firms dont seem to get it in water over here

**dave-sbs** · 10-12-2008, 17:34

a little bit of basecoat...

and a bit of clearcoat...

**Os8472** · 10-12-2008, 17:46

WOW

that looks fantastic, I never liked that colour on a citreon but it really suits the 5, top work fella

**wrightygtt** · 10-12-2008, 20:23

**Penfold aka The Dealer** · 15-01-2009, 21:01

Once again dave stunning work, i am amazed by how effort you into your customers car's... you really do take pride in your work.

**dave-sbs** · 15-01-2009, 21:10

thanks for the nice comments guys, sure any painter will tell you it can get a pain at times and things never always go as they should though!

Nice to see them when they are finished , and although ( due to all sorts of reasons ) this has taken a long time, olly will get it back in a week, build it up over the next months and it will be nice and fresh for show season

**BriC** · 15-01-2009, 21:20

Yeh, it really will be good when it's all back together. I can't wait to see it in the skin

**Kris M** · 15-01-2009, 21:34

Looks smart, as others have said im not normally fond of colours like these but in this case I think it will look smart...Especially as i know Oli isnt a fan of massive bodykits etc etc, will look nice in standard (ish) form

**BriC** · 15-01-2009, 21:48

Aye. Think of a mixture of Markey B's car and A N D Y's (if you remember him) car

**MikeA** · 15-01-2009, 22:19

Im so jealous! The car is looking sweet. Once again Dave, as soon as I get some money my pride and joy is heading your way to get put right!

**finsta** · 16-01-2009, 00:30
