***2x1 love..

Today my Trueno got a little treat. The 23 year old paintwork was starting to show the years. The bonnet (or hood for international readers!) was getting quite dull and faded from the heat of its eager little 16v,

 
and there were lots of swirl marks and general ageing on nearly every panel...
 

 So it turned out the guy who did the excellent job on my front bumper and splitter (the splitter which is subsequently showing some battle scars earned during an interesting street parking manoeuvre lol) also does some excellent paintwork correction with a machine polisher and various cutting compounds and magical potions. So after a quick wash my Trueno was locked into a shed with Mr.Paintwork Guy and the results a few hours later speak for themselves :)

The car is so shiny now its actually hard to take a photo of it, and the "black" part of 2x1 black over graphite is a really interesting highly metallic colour, that can look black, dark green, and even a purplish brown depending on the lighting. Just waiting for a nice sunny day, 2011 maybe, and my camera back from Kev *ahem... and we'll get some good shots. Big thanks again to Shane for the excellent work on the bumper and polishing :)
