Roda, the car was painted by a guy in Tullamarine, I am not entirely happy with the job, however the price was hard to go past, however now that it is finished I probably would have paid the extra for a better job. However he quoted the job and the old story then complained how much work was involved. All this despite telling me how many cars he had done and how much work he had done with fiberglass. I think he lost interest in the end and rushed to finish it. As I said can't complain about the price and time, took him 4 weeks. I can't say too much more as I have to go back and see him, the side pipes were a bit too close and it appears that resin has come out of the body and caused some shrinkage. He told me that he had baked it at a high temp. The roll bars were also made by a company in Tullamarine, Aero something or other, the most expensive part was setting up the machine, after that I had a run of 4 done, should have made more. The rest I finished myself, rear leg etc and got them chromed.
