Going to do the wings and a few other bits monday !!

I like the black roof bars mate and for a quick fix you can paint the stone guard around the bottom of the car with a brush I did it to mine and it came up a treat:thumbup:

Always nice to start a new project.

Wow. That does look fresh...

Yeah shes looking good jim , still got to sort mechanicals though :) glad iv decided to keep her :)

Ken, out of interest, what spray equipment (if any) did you use and what paints/lacquer's etc (i see a pipe so i guess its from a compressor)

 

(for the techie geeks out here...)

 

Rich

No probs pal , i only use 2k (2pak) paints this was clear over basecoat . and i would normally use an oven for a big job ! however if you know what your doing u can get away with spraying outside it will.just require more flatting and buffing !

 

 

my compressor is 2.5hp and eases jobs like this and with experiance u learn wer to let the comppressor run out of puff and let it build up air and have a dry patch (polishable later)!! for example ... my comp wud not have coped well if i was going to paint the door and wing together as you cant really stop half way through a panel !!

 

 

 

my gun id devillbiss gti pro !

 

 

so sorry its difficult to explain this painting lark lol theres more to it than people wud think and all painters have there own ways and ideas i suppose !

I have.moved this to.the journal section now guys ... plzz follow

My brother is selling one of those paint guns on ebay if anyones interested, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/320878119996?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:VRI&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2661
