Fark!! That burnt orange looks awesome! 100 times better than my dodgy paint job. Is gloss the only texture he does or is he willing to do matte finish as well?

Thanks. Is actually a gloss orange, although in reality its more a semi gloss. Yes, he can do matt colours as well.

Must admit, colour was Kylie's idea. At the time I thought what the hell, why not. But now, im so happy that I went with the suggestion. Would have been difficult to do better. The carbon fibre roof wasntmy idea either. That was a suggestion by the guy thatdid the wrapping. Hid the join and brokeup the colour a bit.

    Oh good, didn't want to critisize you.

    First looked at it and commented to the wife.
    Would have been better if it followed the edge of the glass both front and back, left the "rungs" of the side over the windows orange.

    Thin at the front and gets wider as it goes to the back.

    Thats funny. Exactly what Aza said. Seeing as he is re-doing it Tuesday, I might see if I can get him to modify it according to your suggestion

      Why not. Wasnt my idea and what you are saying makes sense. I think itll look better.

      There isnt vinyl on the top of the windscreen. If you mean the roof, then thats carbon fibre.

      Yeah, needed an new one for the rear window and that was the colour I found

        No, I mean in the fact that Aza commented the same thing as what I posted. Atleast that's how I read your previous post.

        Not on the windscreen itself, but on the rubber trim that seperates the windscreen from the metal roof.
        It looks like the side parts is black rubber colored, whilst the top is a shiny carbon...

        WAIT

        are you saying that the rubber between the windscreen rubber and the carbon roof is rubber coloured?

        something something GenY <--- is that how you see it?

          OK, Have some better pics:

          Image

          Image

          Image

          Image

          And this is what the joins look like:

          Image

          And a panel edge - how it should be done

          Image

          And here are a few that are a bit shabby. This is why its better off taking parts off. Mind you, have to get pretty close to see them. Will probably fix these myself:

          Overall, looks like a new car. Well worth the money.
