Thanks for your comments!

Best thing is that it still smells of fresh paint!

That is a great looking job. Do you have any pictures of the process? Curious as to how you take it all apart and also as to how you get a new paint to stay on without smudging off.

Btw, love the "original" 2CV, such lovely cars. Has a Renault R4 which was not too dissimilar in spirit / concept from a 2CV. A good friend had a Dyane too.

Great looking paint job, you painted the inside as well which really makes it look sharp . Just curious if you lightly sanded the body so the paint sticks ?

No, I didn't sand it, neither did I use a primer, so perhaps the paint will peel in a few years time!  :(

Sadly, I didn't take pictures of the disassembly process Riccardo. I used a fairly fast-drying spray paint, so smudging was not an issue. I did use masking tape to cover some areas, like the door handles and name panels on the rear lid, which was very fiddly, but worked well.
