How shiney is your paint work?

**Beenie** · 20-10-2005 14:41

I love clean shiney paint!

Can anyone do any better than that?

**SimonP** · 20-10-2005 14:45

Although white is difficult to get a pure shine on, my Astra used to come up fairly well.

**Beenie** · 20-10-2005 14:53

White is a crap colour really, even if you get a shine on it, it still doesn't look as good as say red

**SimonP** · 20-10-2005 14:56

It's not as bad as that crappy light blue or yellow.

I'd say these looks almost as shiney as each other.

Taken at Billing 2003.

It's starting to show its age now, but still scrubs up OK for an 11 year old car with 128k miles on the clock...
