No compounding yet (that’ll come soon), but here’s a few pics after a wash, a bit of AIO to clean and seal the paint, topped with a coat of Pinnacle Sovereign. This’ll keep it nice and protected until I get down to the business of paint correction.

(You can see the swirls if you look close enough)

Cheers fellas :thumbsup:

I love Estoril blue, and it’s a great balance of shiny vs easier to live with than black.

There’s a lot of swirls in this paint, so after compounding it’s going to look amazing 8)

A little artefact from a previous sideline in detailing. Unfortunately I couldn’t get a “D” :|

Just a little update. The forum image uploads are a bit s**t, so I’ve added my Dropbox versions for those who want the extra resolution 8)
