Very much a learning process for us , Wal the one on the buff is an old acrylic man ..reckons he may as well sand it with a piece of newspaper!!!...mind you with his skills and patience hes got it looking spot on...love the Autoglym high definition wax..Dasdubber wrote:Amazing how much time colour sanding takes hey! Well worth it though.
The Frid is looking great mate.
