The Counts Track Day Nova Build

Little update for tonight - I got on with the prep making sure i was happy with all areas etc then i gave everything a good clean/sweep/blow out and hoover as cleanliness is key to a decent paint finish :thumb:i also got a couple of heaters in the garage to up the temp a little ;)

This was followed by some more masking and a degrease all over with panel wipe and another blow out

Now the part you have all been waiting for....the first application of some paint (all be it the green primer i was on about lol)
The colour of the primer is hard to see but it has come out a light matt green which is a good base for the darker finish coat that i will be applying shortly.

IMO the primer has come out very well and i'm happy with the finish - even coverage and minimal runs, hangs etc.

im with you on this jay,

when you doing my rear turrets then?

James did i miss this, or i might be wrong, but have you cut and covered over the hole where the plastic round cover goes to the fuel tank on the rear bench? or did the old shell not have them as they were not injection etc?

Looking nice there primer mate, moving on well fast now!

Hope the top coat goes as well.

Scott
