Silver is one of those colours that always worries me. I personally think it’s one of the hardest colpurs to make shine so when a silver car comes my way I get very anxious but excited. I love the challenge of getting the silver to look wet and show some nice clean reflections.
When Wookie and I agreed on a date we both agreed that there was only one option for the car, it needs the full works.
