DIY respray - pics
A lot of hard work - reasonable results - I'm happy.
It sure beats paying out 2 grand!

Yes, but used a special mask for 2-pack when spraying.
I would prefer to use something safer if I ever do another respray - maybe a single pack acrylic.

I agree that the chequerplate is not great. I tow a trailer and carry a lot of tools so I wanted something that would give some protection.

...... but eminently practical. When I wanted to protect the rear bumper on our old C8, I bought some of that chrome strip from Lidl, and attached it with about 6mm gaps between the strips. Looked quite tidy and did the job well. You've done a nice job there Donal, good on you for trying.

Paint job
You are brave, apparently silver is a very difficult colour to get right. Looks good in the picks
