I've written some history of buy earlier but it was for sale in Germany at
mobile.de and I found it from there.

Brush, yes. I should have remembered that.

It was raining yesterday and I had opportunity to wash the car and take some
more photos as the water does wonders to old paint, it looks almost good in
this photo.

Sections that are dry look as bas as in earlier photos and I see that I left
an unwashed area in the middle, it was a kind of hard to see in the dark.

Anyway, it looks much like a paint that can be ground and polished, there's
enough thickness in paint.

(I know, maybe I've been drooling too many detailing pages, like

Absolutely stunning anyway. )
