Ok so heres a couple of pics of a bit of the paint ..

Its a bit dark in the garage and the paint looks a little 'flatter' on the photo's .. but ya can get the drift on the colours ..

Its my first attempt at a spray job so be gentle with me! .. Ive learnt lots since painting the first side, hence when i got back round to it, I flatted it back and resprayed it again .. but I guess thats how ya learn!

Still want colour sanding and polishing, but im happy with the overal result for a home job!

Oh and the colours are white and Triumph old english white ..
