To put the tape on took much longer than I would have imagined. I'd taken some close-up pictures of SHW's stripe and marked them with the correct measurements, as I'm sure that car is totally original, to use as a guide for Dave. Dave worked his way along the car and I was used to guide him as he went. A bit like the golden shot...up a bit, down a bit, etc.

Then he covered the car with masking paper.

Dave was more precise than I would've ever been and made sure no 'over spray', (told you I knew the lingo), could go in the door gaps.

With the finishing touches nearly done, the final double checks were made.

All this took about two and a half hours...on just one side!

Dave then covered the other side of the car in dust sheets. (What kind of over 'spray does' he expect!)

A closer view of the front wing. This was the most difficult part to mask up.

Then the spraying.

This took all of three minutes.

I have no pictures of the masking paper being removed as the batteries went dead in the camera and Edd phoned me.

When I saw the first side I couldn't believe the difference a thin stripe makes to a car.

It was so different, totally changing the appearance. You could see the cars outline better, especially round the rear side window where the body curves.

I don't know how I'd lived with her for so long without it, it looked so wrong. Dave had both sides done by about 4, then I drove her home with a permanent smile stuck on my face. I'd like to say a very big thank you to Dave who once again produced a wonderful job. I really couldn't have done such a good job myself. As I've said before, if you want something done on your car, seek out Dave.
