Cage and inside in hammered effect black for the time being?!? I've already painted half the inside in hammered black but not sure if I want the cage white?!? Thoughts??

Well Andy has had his work cut out!!!

For some reason the top coat has reacted in areas, that the primer hadn't reacted!! seems the aerosol cans really fooked things up!!

Andy went to flat the shell down but in the 2 days since baking it had reacted.



Andy called me a broken man having had to bare metal parts that had reacted again!!



He got the bonnet primed up and ready while he was at it with a view to getting the whole lot into the booth the weekend.



More reaction control



Bootlid with a primer, fortunately this only had the tiniest amount of spray can muck on it!!



Bit of primer over the major reaction area!!

Andy had said it was planned for the booth this weekend, then out of the blue I get these sent over.











It seems the booth was busy at the weekend so Andy got on with it at his workshop. Can't fault his commitment, from broken man to repainted car in 24 hours!!

He really is a machine!!

Fair play to Andy for keeping at it and dare I say...the paint looks even shinier now
