Hung around this afternoon...heres some more panels, fresh off the gun. I hope they'll be fitting the doors up tomorrow.....






Love this colour.....the camera just doesn't do it justice. Its incredibly "green"...deep jade metallic, sliding to a mint pearl depending on the viewing angle and the light. In some lights, it looks almost black.

I went with Leigh the other day to see the car in the shop and man as Leigh said you can not see the pearl in the pics the car looks drop dead gorgeous.Maybe some video out in the sunlight may show off the pearl better.

Thanks...
Slowly progressing......seems they have a lot of work on at the moment which has slowed my car down a bit.
