Why dont you get the car for the Sunday F1 meet?? Then everyone will have a chance to admire it. BUT, Remember, Dont rush it!! Let the Painters take their time!

might be ready by saturday.. but the upholstery is going to take a good 2-3 days more! cant drive without seats lol!!

oh by the way just got back from the showroom..
paint job is almost complete!
low lighting conditions and paint had not dried so plz dont judge by these photos! polishing is still left.. the painting was completed an hour ago!

sorry the last pic aint showing.. i think the PEARL can only be seen in the last 2 pics cos of the low lighting and the limited capabilities of the omnia little sensor..

Cyrus43 · 23rd September 2008, 00:44

Looks Good. But, why wasnt the Fuel Cover not removed before painting?? Also, feel the car right after it is polished!! It will be the smoothest thig you will ever touch!!

frankmehta · 23rd September 2008, 00:47

is it supposed to be removed?

Yes. I hope the inside has been painted properly. Also, did you paint the Inside to the Boot? And the Engine bay?

boot: check
engine bay: not sure
