I'm impressed of the fact that they used an actual spray-gun!

It looks like this one might be getting a total re-spray, it'll look lovely on the forecourt. ;)

Looking at the layers of paint and filler it doesn't look likeit was the first time either.

Also looks like some one should have been decorating and not fiddling with the car judging by the wheel masking.
