Frozen Repair!

Post by ori » Sun Apr 24, 2022 10:17 pm

We aren’t anti frozen paint, but recognise that it isn’t for everyone.
Minor scratches can’t be buffed out. Minor cosmetic repair is impossible (for now).

I think the frozen colours look beautiful. I have heard than even with care, they do lose their finish over time though.

If I had a garage I would probably have gone for a frozen finish.

We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…
