Gave the repaired top tube of the Rail a fine cut and polish to smooth out the blended paint. Not perfect, you can see ripples under the right light, but it will be covered soon anyway.
Pictured in the worst light I could. Really can’t see it in normal condition. Happy with the result.

Rating (out of 10) for Price/ finish/ time/ shout-out noting this question on repairs is becoming more common here?

10 for price. He asked $80 I gave him more.
9 for finish. He doesn’t offer a professional painting service, but did a protective coat for me.
10 for time. He works away from home five days a week, so just did this when he had time in the evenings. I told him there was no rush whatsoever, was back to me in 10 days.

Sounds as though you got a bargain.
Mine was 10x the price for a TT crack and about a month without a frame (given I was so broken after the crash it didn't matter anyway).

Yours would have been sonic tested, painted and guaranteed. If it was going to be ridden by Felix, I would have probably gone along that path.

No testing, but there was painting which added to the cost.
I think "major" carbon repairs are still in the $800+ range if you go to an advertised repairer.
Good work on finding someone local though!
