Looks nice, got any pics from a side-ish angle?
Do you think a similar effect could be got with some carefully applied silver or white tape, or would you have to painted?

Very nice Andy...
Just one point, your offside wheel is higher than your nearside... or is it some kind of optical dillusion?
Are the stripes painted on, or tape?

Thanks for the feedback. I was worried the stripes might be a bit boy racer but I think they look quite classy.
I'll get some more photos later. Both the blue and stripes are metalic but it's hard to photo.
It's had:-
1 coat Acid #8 primer
2 coats EP21 primer
4 coats Toyota Celica Lagoon Blue
2 coats Honda Blade Silver (stripes)
3 coats clear coat
Then 1500 grit wet sand buff with compound, buff with t-cut and a final hand polish with Autoglym.
There are a few impefections and some parts need a bit more polishing but I'm pretty happy with my first spray job (oh er). And I managed it
with a £50 6L B&Q compressor my Dad bought!

The drive has a fair slope where I'm parked. It's not another case of bent wishbones honest

I think I bought 1L etch, 5L ep21, 2 or 3L of base and about 5 or 6L of clear.

Wow!
Really tidy! Seriously impressive job.
I was going to post a pic or two of the 325 engine installation but I'd be positively ashamed to now...
I keep telling myself that it's harder to do a neat job of an installation in a car that's already built. Hmmm.
