Sure you lot can see where this is going lol...
yeapp then I painted them!
https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...46226139_n.jpg
Has a few runs on the top edge and a fly but I think I have enough paint on it to Da them out and mop it up :)
https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...95688199_n.jpg
Runs and the fly :(

Wings

https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...21832448_n.jpg
Photos don't make them look that good but I have to admit everything has come out well. I am happy with it, and after a good flat back and buff it should look the dogs!
Oh and I also bolted the mount on!

Nice work Dan
When you painting the rest ?
My master plan is to prep the doors and tailgate tomorrow night, the doors need a lot of work though as they have a few dents! If I have enough time I want to high build them too. Then Wednesday I can flat them back and hopefully paint them white. Friday night I want to start flatting and masking etc, then put the Gazebo up. Finish everything on Saturday morning and paint! Now if this all happens I can then fit the glass and doors etc maybe Sunday night to make the car water tight.Quote:

They have come out really well so that is a good start!

Shiney :)
https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...28626060_n.jpg
Had a look at the bonnet and noticed I have missed the very edge on the front so as that is also the same area where the paint run I am going to practice removing the runs without going through but as I need to spray the lip again is doesn't really matter if I do :)
Spent A good two hours on the passenger door, rubbed it all door inside and out then applied a smear of filler to cover a few minor dents.
https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...19957021_n.jpg
Flatted back, just needs the rest of the guide coat removing and its basically ready to prime.
https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...35726704_n.jpg
Tailgate is ready to prime bar the spoiler holes need drilling.
https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...14763334_n.jpg
https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...77672035_n.jpg
Haven't started on the drivers door but I think its the best one so hopefully wont take as long. If everything goes okay everything will be in primer tomorrow night :)
Dan
I think the photos will do the talking,

https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...39412960_n.jpg
All I can say is there is 11 and a half hours work there, the paint work does have the odd run, some fly and slight orange peal but overall I am extremely pleased with the finish. and after a quick DA/wet flat and a machine polish it should come up like glass.
Nice work fair play too u for having a go and getting very good results! You have given me a bit of enthusiasm to have a go at painting my 5 door td myself!
Cheers Pal, I am sure you can do it!Quote:

rick
cheers ricky!
High builded a door and the tail gate tonight. Look okay i guess, good job it isn't gloss!
Fitted these today
https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...55100533_n.jpg
https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...66691825_n.jpg
and the wiper set up.
https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...46698038_n.jpg
I painted the sunroof surround as well but I managed to drag the air line through it thus ****ing up the paint,
I have ordered some more wet and dry as I am out of just about everything so I can finish off the doors and tailgate when it arrives.
So again not alot done today. On a plus side though I started a new job on Monday and everything is going well so far :)
Dan
I haven't done as much as normal the last week as I have just started a new job. Well today I came home from work and decided it had been to long so I thought I best make a start on a few things.
Masked and scotchbrited the front cross member.
https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...55793002_n.jpg
After two coats of Hurricane grey.
https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...88778211_n.jpg
and de-masked..
https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...04042879_n.jpg
I painted it grey as it stood out like a saw thumb through the bumper and I am going for a 'Standard' look!
Sprayed the sun roof surround the same colour to match nicely with the hole white a grey theme!
https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...71987030_n.jpg
And then fitted, it was bonded as well as screwed in so there no chance in it leaking!
https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net...57999331_n.jpg
The roof lining has also been cut, needs tucking in still and wants the seal putting on!
That is it for today though!
your gona come in your pants 1st time you drive it mate!
Nobby, why do you think I painted it white. :PQuote:
