Well folks,
Got another MMS from Ade today, he's primed up the outer shell with high build primer, which he says he rubs down till baby smooth. He will also use normal primer on the interior and engine bay before the colour go's on.
Really chuffed with how its looking now, i'm like a kid at christmas!! lol

Well today I prepped the fuel tank, and used a fancy new contraption that Terri-ann found for me in Halfords for applying paint with aerosols.
It clips onto the top of most aerosols and allows you complete control of the can, much like using a professional spray gun. It defiantly made my life alot easier when spraying up the tank!

Here's the tank sanded down and wet/dried on both sides.

I painted one side, and then left it in the house to dry.

I'll hold off till the outsides done to show the colour.
Keith
sounds sweet mate , cant wait to see it !!!
Looks shiny as fook, even b/w pics lol
looks stunning mate
Well, the shortlist would be blue, red or purple. Most likely blue or red.
Im thinking dark met red. Like the bmw colour.
My 2p's worth its either :-
a) British Racing green
b) Dark metallic red
c) Metallic purple
Come on Keith - we're all in suspense now!
Joff
Pink !?!
Very nice dark grey would be cool
im saying
(BMW) blue
or
NDZ colour
or
for some strange reason I think this colour:
http://i113.photobucket.com/albums/n...r/IMG_4512.jpg
looks blue to me
I'll post pics of the colour when Ade has the outside done next weekend.
I also sent my Plug cover to another painting Genius, Nick Jackson. And he kindly sent me this pic today of the finished product. Again the aim for the engine is a Classy better than standard finish, with a nice rich metallic silver rocker cover (which ade is painting) and a Red Plug cover.
