A good result from 2 blokes in a garage for a few days polishing it off

Paint especially thin on an RA no doubt.

Masked off the roof with 3Ms tape removed it and a 3" long strip of paint .

Rushed to livermores in swansea and they mixed me up 1/2 a litre of pure white, got to give it to them "great colour match "

Used maguires cutting compounds, Auto Glem super resin polish, Extra gloss and then 3 coats of auto glem high def wax.

Hope everyone had a merry christmas. Hope you all have a great NEW YEAR

Default Been a busy day, SPINNING AROUND

Went for a spin today with my new camera.
Went up Trecastle and Crai.
The frost was so thick on the trees that it looked like snow on the road.
Pics may be poor but i ain't got use to the camera yet.
