Molleur – Cheers, although the photos are more flattering than the reality of the finish in places.
But I am still taking positives from all the mistakes I am making and now expect to achieve a decent finish (see below).

Micky1Mo – Thanks for the encouragement.
If I was able to cut and polish the BRG to get anything like the reflections in that paint job I’d be very happy.

Quick Update:
Yesterday was lost to a combination of some ‘real work’ to do inside and the wet and windy weather outside.
But since my last post I spotted this short video clip on YouTube featuring an XK120.

The close ups showed a number of areas where the paint was chipped/missing and yet it still looks great.
I know I certainly haven’t got the skills to fake the patina that an old racing car wears with pride.
However, seeing it does help me overcome any lingering OCD tendencies to stress over tiny imperfections that really don’t matter.
Provided I tackle the worse bits, that fact that other areas will not be 100% perfect will still be OK. <
