AFter a few weeks of struggling around a tight garage preparing and then respraying the car, it's now complete so I thought I'd share my P&J with all you fine Gentlemen. Been hard work, but I like it, but I know what a critical lot you are, and I've also been known to be critical, so you can all get your own back on me now and sg me off laugh







PS Good job I didnt go to Goodwood this morning - I'd never have been able to find the car.

Before having seen that, I quite honestly would have listed white as the last colour I'd paint my car, but that looks really superb.

I'd have ruined it with a stripe or something.

Very nice - how about getting some white wall tyres... just don't think they'd be white enough though would they.

Stick a before pic on so we can compare.

But I do like the choice of colour on the car.

A brave choice but it worked.

The wheels ..... hmmmmm.

Not sure about them (well you did ask someone to be critical) wink .

that looks superb, white works great on a Cerbera IMO, interesting to see the white 17"ers too!
good job sir!

Looks really good, like the white refurbished Racelines, they look like the wheels they used on the Sagaris race cars.

Looks good, but I think that the white wheels are just a little bit too much.

Also, they'll be filthy with brake dust pretty quickly. I'd have gone for black wheels smile

Well thanks for all your comments - I'm not too sure about the wheels either, it was case of 'Lets see what white looks like', but my plan is to get them shot blasted and then do them in Black-Chrome.

Bejaysus, that's white!

It looks like an arctic hare biggrin

I didn't like it when I first looked, but it's growing on me. I dislike white cars with a passion, but there's something ethereal about that, kind of like a "Randall and Cerbera (deceased)" tongue out

Great job with the respray. How on earth did you do it in a garage that small?

My hat off to you.

Bloody Hell that is very white, not too sure about the wheels though I think black would have been better.

Great job Alan - very brave doing it yourself but it's paid off beautifully!

Why did you respray it?

It was a lovely colour before the white.

I'm not saying it looks bad or anything - it actually looks good, I just wondered what actually made you go for it in the first place?
