My NL's paint work was getting a bit shabby, the clear had been degrading from UV, had a lot of stone chips and a few dings as well. So decided that it needed a full respray.
Photos are attached. Its a bit of a long post, but someone may like to have a look.

I took off the alloy bullbar (looked really old fashioned on this car) car drive much much better with out it and put a std bar back on.
I must say a huge thanks to my mate that is the spay painter that got this all done (he is on here somewhere). 14hrs on Saturday (was a long day)!
Cheers
