    Car looks nice, but what's with the colour?

    The colour looks a bit uneven and faded.. Nice looking car though..

    Wait untill its painted and it comes out in humidity blisters because the primer has water in it!
    You cant leave a car sat around in primer for long periods of time as primer is porous and takes on water, once the car is painted the water cant escape out of the primer because it is sealed by the paint and will end up with big humidity blisters!

    bare metal respray is the answer to this after it gets a few "Holden edition" seems smoothed over, and a few parts shaved , thats why its still in primer ( i paint cars for a hobby i do know about primer sucking in water and yes its a pain in the arse )

    Oh ok, fair enough then. Just didnt want you to get all that way to the finished product then it comes out in blisters. But a bare metal respray will fix that as you said.

    Why was the bottle placed there??
    Does the bonnet close correctly?
