Unfortunately it picked up a few more blemishes and a chip / ding or two during the recent Jensen Owners' Club USA trip, which I took part in in June, so the work was required sooner rather than later.
As the blemishes were on nearly every panel, plus, my car had been fitted with extra B-post door locks which I'd never used and to my eyes were a bit ugly, I decided to have them removed at the same time, so it ended up being time for a full re-spray.
Not bare-metal, as my aim was just to correct all of the blemishes and to fix couple of rusty sections including a front wheel arch, and to get a really top quality finish, in the same colour as previously; Jaguar Cranberry Red.
I chose Reammachine in Ilkeston to carry out the work - they're next-door-but-one to Appleyard Parts, which I found rather convenient as Appleyards were able to do a couple of things whilst it was being painted - including fitting a pair of the lovely new chrome door handles which Appleyards supply.
I'm extremely pleased with the result of the paint job, so I'd like to say a big thank you to Martin at Reemachine http://www.reemmachine.co.uk for getting the job done in a timely manner and to a very high standard at a sensible price.
If I've been able to successfully post pictures, you should see the result below - one photo was taken with the driver's door not fully closed before anyone criticises the panel gap!
