Re:

Whilst I am in the tedious process of repainting the small crack, a package arrived from the Nitrider's today.

Really Happy, I hope the anodising turns out as well

Nice... any details on who you used?

Re:

Acorn are doing the Anodising but Titanium Nitride is plasma sprayed so a more complicated process. Wallwork is the company I used. Great communication and a turnaround in a week.

Acorn? I thought they did Anodising, this is Nitriding isn't it?

Re:

It's done!! Crack filled resprayed and lacquered and it only took me the same amount of time as the original respray and finishing :facepalm:

It's not perfect but once I have used the ultrafine finishing compound, applied the decals and waxed it no one will spot it unless they look very, very closely.
Need to chase up the anodisers as that's holding up proceedings.

Nice work... when do we get to see the stickers?

When I badger Gil to get them printed (we're all sorted for position and size). I'm in no rush, lots to do before the decals go on.
