Gravitex and the paint have the best combination, the finish and the gloss is unreal!

Thanks mate, iv taken alot of time out researching and speaking to restoration shops for advice on the products to use. The paint iv used is probably one of the best and will withstand roadsalt and debris.
Just waiting on the cavity wax now so its fully protected for the bad weathers not like itll be driven in the rain anyway aha
 
Some more pictures on the resto!
During the outbreak of the corona virus i havent had much done on the car but the undercarriage is now complete.
Iv managed to get it cavity waxed so its fully protected,
heres some 'before' pictures of inside the chassis just to show how clean she really is :naughty:

So this is the cavity wax im going to be using,iv heard alot of good things about this so the cars going to get soaked with this stuff

this is the first time im cavity waxing a car, i tried to use it cold but didnt have any luck so decided to warm it up in a bucket of hot water. Warming it up made a BIG difference in application, it will also seep into all the seems and cavitys
 
I ended up using approx 4 litres in the chasiss, the bodypanels will be done after the paint job
Heres some pics...
