I didn't take any pictures before anyone asks... Sorry 
The show was really really small. I feel sorry for the people who paid. It seems to be getting worse and worse every year, though apparently next year is going to be the big one?
It was good to see everyones cars there from off of here, sure when they get back they will post up a pic or two There were some really high quality cars there too, my fav would have to of been the row of Dubs in the corner
An update on my car. I have a confession to make, the top secret paint job I was going for was Chrome. I was going for chrome paint. I am so glad I didn;t shell out £480 on the paint. My god is that stuff crap! It photographs well, but in reality it looks rubbish. All swirly and everything. Not to worry though, I have made my mind up for what colour it's going next week. It's nothing that ground breaking, but it will look good

the reason the chrome is swirly is because they have polished it!

It's the actual effect of the paint, it doesn't even look that chrome, it looks like a very fine metallic gone wrong. This was on the demo car from the manufacturer too, so I guess they would have got it right. You can polish it too because it's a laqured surface.

Also, the reflectivity is just the camera and the lighting on the laquer, not the paint. It's the same as the pictures I took of Steve's car....
