the bay is looking good in paint there matey!!
Its is old boy but I was reading somewhere that you can get a lacquer or you can get the paint mixed different so that you could put a lacquer coat on it just so it didnt go sun faded. someone at the paint shop should clarify it. :thumb:Quote:

Little update, no pics as nothing major, keyed the engine bay up again/sanded some runs out, got a slam panel/light surrounds to fit as well but it got bent to buggery in transit :mad: so gonna have to straighten that up then engine bay gets another coat.
Little update, engine bay has been sanded down again as there was a few runs in the paint and primer and the front panel has been tacked on for now just to see how it fits as it was bent to **** in transit while on its way to a local paint shop :mad: :(

I've got suspension sorted, nothing fancy just some TA-Technix coil over front shocks and springs rear I think just to get me going for now, getting them off a mate on friday, I also have an engine sorted I think, all depends if I can get down to it and bring it back up but its just a standard 1.6 16v (another XEL) not bad for £125 including all the running gear :d not that I need it lol
Not bad work mate, it's getting there :)
For now mate aye, its going to get a full respray when me and Gareth have time and the weather improves a bit, so probably not til next year.Quote:

At the moment its located in Gareth's garage but once its out he's got plans to knock his garage down and make one big one, one side for his car and one side for storage (and I'm not allowed to forget that, not that I could if I wanted to :roll:) so not sure where it'll be resprayed and yeah its 2k paint mate.
You using air fed masks with the 2K paint fella or just a face mask with big filters ?
