My Projects thread

It came out very well and very clean which is always a bonus! I left it to air dry rather than baking as it lets the clear flow more and the finish wont nip up. Today I went back in to work and demasked it then rolled it out of the booth and bagged up the inside and engine bay ready to flat and polish it. This can be messy hence the precautions!...........

After a good few hours with the polisher the paintwork is absolutely gleaming. This finish it excellent and its totally imperfection free leaving it looking like this........

With the polishing complete for now I bolted the wings,bumper,grill,seat and a few other parts back on so they arent kicking about when were all back in work tommorow etc. Today finished with the car looking like this......

Your thinking of old school solid colour fella..... Thats rarely used by most manufacturers nowadays. Base and clear has a better longivity and is more durable. In short this will be shining for years to come with or without polish ;)

I want the doors on for the grey........ The I can make sure the line is uber stright across the door,quarter and wing etc. Even though the lines covered by the mouldings I want it to be right. ;)
