I'd be afraid it got damaged and they would not be able to blend the paint back in

Go on then, who are you in real life?
We go to the same 'people parties' with Mclaren I was really nice about the price you paid for the MAC 720S plate

so perhaps you can return the compliment in the future?

As long as I remain with the same body shop, it won’t be an issue. A full extra tin has already been mixed in the event of damage. It will be held by me. The owner of the body shop sprayed it, meaning his style of painting will remain consistent should it need to be blended in the future. I’ve even ordered twice the amount of powder pigment from the US in the event of it being discontinued. I think I have thought of most eventualities, except maybe a killer virus that could wipe out the population. Errrrrmmmmmm,,,,

Hi MAC - Did you collect the 720 yesterday?

Can't wait to see the pictures!!
There was a delay with the wheels. Pickup now Wednesday.
My office is literally five minutes away; Southway Drive.
If you don't mind a spectator I'd love to see you pick her up.

He is the owner of Paint-Tec. Anyhoo, yes not a problem. I will drop a message with time. Probably late afternoon as still waiting for wheels to arrive.

Quite. This forum would be a better place if this happened more often.
I'll speak my mind, thank you.

Don’t feed the troll chaps. He barely ventures out of the football forums, but when he does, it is generally to the McLaren forum.

A bit of a delay until Thursday morning. One of the wheels had a slight imperfection in the paint.

Planning on being there for collection at 10am

It's nice that you follow me around.

Not being a fan of flip paint makes me troll?

Only one of us is so thin skinned, as to resort to insults because we have a different opinion.
