Reinstalling the sunroof
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Almost there...

 


Your car has now emerged from the booth resplendent in its new Old English White coachwork.

 
 
 
 

 
 
 

 

 
 
 

 


Over the last few days we have been stripping multiple coats of lacquer base coat and lacquer primer in order to establish a solid foundation for the new paint. This is an essential step because of the possibility of an adverse reaction between lacquer and modern urethane products.
