Title: Some clean pictures.
Post by: Omega_Dan on 27 September 2011, 19:40:06
Seeing as the weather has been good today and after fitting the spoiler to the mig i have given her a bit of a polish ready for the winter. Pictures show how random Graphite Grey looks in different lights. :)

pictures are really good quality if thats 2mp.. Cars paint is the most critical and hardly renewed/repared component.. so worth every cost/effort imo..(talks a car owner whose car stayed 50 days in paintshop of which more than 20 days were sanding)

My last Omega had that paint ... it could be black, grey or even purple depending on the light!

I do like the look of that grill - I've ordered one for my Black Sapphire CDX - is the colour of the ABS a reasonable black or would it be better sprayed in black sapphire?

It is more of a matt finish and i was tempted to spray it gloss black but for me the matt finish is fine. Would probably look good on a black car glossed.  :y

In the flesh it really does show how well looked after this car is - Mind you Dan, I wouldn't of called it grey if someone had asked me.  Looks more blue in some lighting and deep purple in another, but still a good example of a well looked after one.  :y

PS if it's in your blood perhaps you need to see a doctor mate  ;D :P

You were like a kid in a toy shop when you got your grill, even brought it in work to show it off - Take it your pleased with it?  ::) :y
Have you got the fruity exhaust sorted out now, as it was sounding rough when you drove off  ::)

colli's is very good isnt it? although as waxes go i wouldn't have said its expensive given how little you use if applied properly and also given its legendary durability.So is the 915 used all year round or just over the harsher winter months, personally there are other waxes i use for a better looking enhanced finish in the summer and then go with 476s over winter :y
