Yes Ben the standard Black appears to be a lot softer than DBP. In fact its possible to leave a swirl type scratch by running your finger over a small spot on the paint!!  :surprised:
That's shocking!

Yup not surprised as much now at the state it was in, but then again it had no protection whatsoever on the paintwork......

Yes but you could say that about all cars, but some paints are harder than others and all have a top coat. It may well be more top coat is applied to a metallic to enhance the metallic finish?

Maybe you should bring some of that lovely shortbread instead?  :party:

Managed to pop down today. Love the setup, even though it's not 100% complete. Very impressed by it all.

Loved the cars that were there. The ED30 has really been turned around!
