Some more updates... Steve worked over the weekend to get the nearside painted. I'm optimistically hoping to get it back for the end of the month but we will see :)

Machine polishing has started, it has had a significant improvement on the finish. A few little bits and bobs sprayed too, honestly I'm not even sure what they are but its good to know everything us being given the same attention to detail.

Spraying. I originally asked for them to be gloss black but the painter made an executive decision to do them satin - I'm glad he did I think it matches the other trim nicely.
