Super looking job. I think I may have a dose of paint envy.

Hi Tony

That is a stunner.  I’d be frightened to start work on it for fear of scratching it!

Cheers

Howard

Cracking job, it looks like two pack to me and a gun finish too, I think the painter may have done it before!

Apparently, he had - for a very long time indeed!

You are correct Ivor - this is two pack - straight off the gun.

It has taken me a long tome to find a good painter, this one most certainly is and I will be using him again.

I suppose half a century in the industry helps! Hopefully, now that the house renovations are coming to a close, I can paint the box, it’s all prepped and waiting patiently for me to get cracking...that Mk 1 Ruby looks so sweet I’m getting a hankering for another....
