[QUOTE="Lee36328, post: 691498, member: 113"] Nice to be able to share my obsession with others who share the passion. Yes, initially that's what I was thinking, black lining in the traditional way. But after careful study of the pics of the different styles, thought I would give this new look a try. As a fallback, I could always have the paint removed if I changed my mind. So far I must say though, it appears to be turning out nicely. What remains to be done, swap back to my refurbished rims and tyres (currently on temporary wheels), alignment, some remaining bit parts, and pretty much it's done. The new paint feels so smooth. I am getting tips on how to preserve it. Am told to wash with only water, no shampoo, and to wax once every 2 weeks. No shampoo?! Seems no need, because the paint is new and the coating is easy to wash clean. BTW, paint is Glasurit. Also ordering a canvas car cover tailor-made to prevent the neighbourhood cats from scratching the paint. They love to sleep on warm bonnets. The paint is to protect the car body. The lacquer/clear coat is to protect the paint. But now, the owner (and wallet) is protecting the sealant and the paint. Sigh! [/QUOTE]
