  5. Shame there was no sun out to do it justice!

    only for the first time i think watched the misses drive it off to work in the sun the other day, epic paint.

    ed, i will book back in soon just getting round to it...and finding the time!

    Really was a shame mate, was drizzling in the pictures! no worries Matt speak to you soon.
     
  10. Surprised how well it came up considering the low miles but looks ace now. And as Ed knows - I have a penchant for yellow cars!

    I feel your pain mate, sometimes I look at the screen and think im sure I would of seen that mark or it's on the camera.
     
  14. Awesome job buddy, such a great colour.
     
  15. Absolutely awesome in every way, love it!
     
  16. Liquid yellow is such a nice colour to work with.
     
  17. Looks awesome :smiley:

    Still want to get mine booked in with you as well Ed at some point :smiley:
     
  18. Ed has also said that the 'new' liquid yellow paint depth is almost half that of his previous LY R26
     
  19. That is beautiful. What a colour.

    I'm going to have to get you to do mine

    Thanks guys
     
  21. Really? It looks ok in the above pictures, or is it that it was 'double thickness' on the R26?

    Cracking, as usual though.

    My efforts seem to have left a residue all along the edges of the decals which is a bit of a pain to get off, but then I'm nowhere near this standard.

    It's definately different, the pearl isn't as prominent on the newer cars and my old paint measured 400 microns on average where as this was around 200 average,it's not worse just different looks in different lights
     
  23. Ed, how do you find working with the Gyeon products ?

    Really impressive mate find all their products brilliant and easier to use than some.
     
  25. Another top job mate. Still the best colour for the Meg. Might have to get a re spray :eek:
     
  26. Yep :wink:

    agreed though ed, colour is different to my old r26. I find it looks flatter in low light but pops a lot more in direct sunlight. Get so much attention when the sun is out. Probably the gtechniq eh :wink:
     
  27. Stunning car and yet another flawless job by ed
     
  28. Wow that looks amazing good work
