Last year as a part of my car rebuild I changed the colour from red (well pink because it was fading, hence the respray) to purple.

 

First time was OK but it had problems because it was virtually winter when we did it and it was open to the elements and the paint suffered badly.

 

So we tried again, and again spraying outside so its not perfect but it is 100% better than it was..

 

Here is the result.

 

After sanding down and masking.

 

 

 

Started painting the first coat

WOW, how many coats is that? and where do you get your paint?

Yeah that looks really good actually. What's the problem with it? Paint's a nice colour. How much did it cost you if you don't mind me asking?

It was about £60 in paint and £20 in gloss. Well thats what we got we didnt use it all.

 

Origially we sprayed the car with half the panels taken off. After we finished it started to rain, and would could let rain pour into the engine, interior and boot or put the cover on and hope it didnt scratch. Putting the cover on was the lesser of 2 evils, but it scratched the paint badly.

 

This was to rectify it.

 

Cold eyes, that was 3 coats I believe

 

Chunk, yeah it will be heavier, but I have still to get it mapped on a RR. :D

Fooking nice mate.

Gorgeous colour

 

Enjoy it because it won't be long before lots of other people paint theirs a similar colour. I really think your a brave man to spray the car out side.

 

Top man "RESPECT!!!"

That is why I picked the colour, because it is nice, and most people go for the Nissan Skyline purple which I looked at but didnt think much of it.

 

This paint code is going to stay secret, unless some one searches through the paint cards of all the manufactures to find it, which I basically did when picking it :D

well, it may be secret and I really dont give a shit. It looks great, and TBH i am thinking the same as Mark ... respect for that stuart ... I wouldn't have even thought about it ...

 

Well done ..

Nice job STu - Any flies should come out once you get her over 150mph. :D

looks very nice stu hats of to ya
