    This is great but I think you should paint the bonnet white like the rest as I think it looks a bit odd and the two tone looks 🔥

    Agree.. Also a white bonnet in front of you when driving is less depressing haha bright white... Looks mint, well done.

    VW have the paint scheme right, doesnt make sense visually as it is, in my opinion! cracking job, but impossible time limit! Quality prioritises speed!

    You did good, just a day too short to do it in. Have you thought about fitting the plastic arch guards all round? Just a thought and, it does save the arch paint in car park scuffs and scrapes when random trolleys are allowed to roll into your car.

    Top job Dean!!!! Shame you missed your MOT slot I’m sure you will get it done!!! I personally don’t like the two tone there is too much of a contrast I think it should be more subtle. I love the bottom half dark colour but maybe a top colour that blends better.

    Shame you didn't hit the deadline but you did a great job there Dean. If it was mine I'd get the white bits painted blue as I only like 2 tone on split window campers. You can dissolve the Sikaflex with WD40, I once had a genuine dealer fit spoiler on a car and it started coming loose when I was ready to sell. I squirted WD40 in the gap between the spoiler and tailgate, let it soak for 10 minutes and the Sikaflex peeled off. The paintwork was perfect underneath. Enjoy the holiday!
