Truck's looking well nice mate

Think the gloss finish looks better than matt you started with

Have just had the tyres you sent down mounted on my old rims, so am ready to go play in the mud again

Looks shinier than I thought it would. Is it satin rather than matt?

<edit> Read the first post properly, moron.

Nice job Carl, surf's do look best in black, your mate's done a good job.

How long did it take, if you put it into days?

Well to answer all questions, all maroon was sprayed door jams even to under the carpets, so its is a total respray, now time aspect. My preparation took 12 hours, and i was meticulous as hell, masking and included in that time, we started spraying at 9 a.m today and sanded it at lunch time and then went through the coats and i took final photo at 4p.m, so all in al total time i would say 3 working days, with a 4th to harden paint work.

Still have to put inner trim, wipers rubber trim in rear window wheel carrier back on so another 3 hours to complete.

Actually no It was the flash coat which you use to bond the next full coat to so it dont react with the primer. Matting agent not working meant its shiny!
