This photo was taken a couple of weeks ago but I had to share it with you as I don't know why but I think its a really cool shot, kind of reminds me of a rally car sitti...

One of the benefits of being a painter for nearly 20 years? Perfect gloss straight from the gun no flatting or polishing required! 02C can be a very tricky colour to paint / match but when it goes right its a joy to look at. For such a light blue it has real depth to it Subaru got it spot on in formulation lab when th...
