Thanks for the compliments chaps. Yes, that is pearl white, thought it would be whiter and brighter though, hehe.

Had an issue with the airbursh though, it's not my one as mine had packed up and borrowed one from the studio. Somebody had assembled it incorrectly, I only picked that up after I had stripped it after spraying to do the cleanup. Had a nightmate trying to regulate the flow of paint, thought it was just because it was junk airbrush.

As for the rear guards, I manufacture stuff out of CF all the time for these cars and will be looking at a design for these cars out of 1 or 1.5mm CF. I will keep you posted.
