My 360 is having a bit of a repaint..........
After 22 months and 19k miles my 360 was looking a little worse for wear.
Couple that with an incident which left the rear wheel arch with a dent, scrape and white paint from an unknown source and i decided she needed a little bit of TLC. so after a service at Carrs of Exeter (who kindly picked up the car from me and then dropped it off to Alsa Automotive in Wales) Alun set about my car.................. A few before repair. Damage straightened & panel beaten out. Light skim of shaping filler & stopper applied & blocked down. Area masked off, primed & guide coated.

Day 2
I asked Alun to deal with any issues he found as well as the front bumper stonechips, as a result the next few pics may not make for comfortable viewing! Repairs done on o/s/f wing, leading edge of bonnet (there was a depression adjacent to the badge) n/s door & corrossion cleaned off & treated around side repeater holes. Front bumper, lamps etc removed. Repairs masked & primed.

All of the chips have been stoppered up (i.e levelled off with an ultra fine filler).
Front bumper stripped, repaired & primed.

Day 4........
All of the stopper blocked down flat & primer flat sanded.
Just the bumper to block down & then a good clean up & she'll be ready to mask off & paint.

Day 5........
Obviously she needs blocking & machine polishing now (that isn't the final finish on her!)
But (dare I say!!!!) well on course. I should mention that Al is doing this as a rush job for me because i need it back to go on tour on April 17th and i want it Paintshielded and detailed before i go as well... I'm really impressed at the speed and quality of his work so far

Day 6....
Day 6
All blocked down with 800, 1200, 1500 & 2000 grade paper. Machine polished. Masking removed & all cleaned off. not bad for an amateur i'd say
