Nathy, thanks for the acknowledgement.

Everybody have a nice weekend?

I spent 3 hours washing, claying and waxing the car in the biting cold yesterday.
Didn't clean the wheels as I actually think anthracite quite suits them...

I also spent friday and saturday making a poster with a storm trooper helmet, that my wife's actually given permission to print and hang in our house.
Need to find somewhere local that does cheap canvas printing.

100 x 100 x 4 cm. Local places are often happy to do this type of work VAT free when it's just the one print.
I used to run the big format print production at my old job, but the guy who works there now is retarded and I want a quality job, so will look somewhere else.

Looked online and the best price I could find was 130£ and I fully expect it can be done for half, if I find the right place.

I did think about you btw, Alex. I just expect shipping on a 1 m2 canvas to be a bit painful as well as there being a high risk of shipping damage.

I also used the I4D Ultra Fine clay which is shit. Will look for a better one for next time. It's just incredibly hard and does a shitty job. Need a softer, coarser one I think.

40" x 40" (101cm roughly) 1500px x 1500px min resolution - £31.73 - The cost price for me to get it done. I get free shipping to UK in this figure as the Canvas supplier is German, I could get it sent direct from factory to Denmark if needbe. Depends how quickly you are in need of it I suppose, as it's going to be a few weeks (hopefully 1st dec though) before everything is all set up my end 100%.

Cool I have the worst memory ever btw

As for claying, Bilt Hamber is good. If the one you used is too hard, did you definitely warm and soften it up enough before using it? It's also a good idea to use a tar remover before claying if it's particularly bad. Plus with Honda paint being so soft, it wouldn't be a bad idea to use a light polish after claying to make sure you haven't left any marks behind. But then with it being white you might not notice it much anyway.

No probs, if you decide to do it, i'll do it at cost price (+shipping, if any) in return some hi res photo's of it to put in a gallery which i'm building? Unless its a personal photo, still do it at that price anyway.
