It was done by a chap in Halifax the cost was £440 including collection and delivery. The car had loads of paint as it had been colour changed plus quite a lot of stress cracks so going back to the gel coat was pretty essential for me.
Will be starting the gel crack repairs soon so will post up some info on this.

Sounds similar to my shell, its had at least 2 colour changes, the paint is really thick in places and there appears to be stress cracks in parts plus some damage down the side where it hit a post. I had planned to sand it all down back to the shell but after seeing your pics I'm thinking blasting it is the way to go.
The main benefit to blasting IMO is that you retain all the curves and edges. It's easy to sand a metal car as once your down to metal it's very hard to go much further. But with fibreglass if your not carefully you can very easily start sanding off the gel coat and into the fibreglass losing all the lovely lines and curves lol.

A brown metallic very close to the original one.
During it's life have the car been painted with a brighter brown, where as the original is quite dark and allmost without metallic effect. The one the painter suggested is allso quite dark, but very flashy metallic in the sun light. It will not get the beige stripe, as the vinyl roof is mor "nut brown" than beige now. And I need to keep the doors avaliable for the number plates and comercials for the racings. But it will get some TVR and M3000 logo's here and there.
And if it's too slow in the races.... will it get a flame job :-)
