1 question though. . . in picture 2 of the boot why does the paint look mottled? like it hasnt been flatted properly in the factory. or is it just the camera angle?
It's not worse at all, its the angle of the photo I'd imagine. My 197 was just as bad, easily, as were the other 12 or so 197's I've had the pleasure of working on.
That's some very advanced detailing, I'd have to have a lot of practice before attempting that. KDS Keltec do some incredible work in this respect, but you're looking at £800 for a detail.
