Looking great Ben, Keep the progress pics coming.

Definately get the whole car done in primer before you paint it. Can't wait to see it. :jamie:

Cheers, Mark. ;)

Looking good, man I wish my front apron was as straight as yours ! :no2:

Good on you for going over the whole car with primer etc.

Taking some proper side pics tonight when i get home in the sun :no2: ran out of primer yesterday so wasnt able to finish the driver side, so that will be done probably soon, I'm guessing it will be painted in about 2-3 weeks :dance:

 

 

 

:no2:

fiddling with colours in photoshop.

Good to see it all in primer.

What colour are you thinking of at the moment ?

well its probably going to stay blue but i am REALLLY liking the white :no2:

Hi Ben, just take into account that if you decide to paint it another colour, you'll have to paint the engine bay and along the inside of the doors etc. so that it matches.

I reckon that white or blue would suit it down to a tee. :dance:

Have you decided to do it in 2pack or acrylic paint????? anyway can't wait to see it, keep on rolling along

Cheers, Mark. :) :no2:

yeah i realise i would have to paint interior and engine bay thats the only thing stopping me from doing it white :dance: next paint job it gets shal be white though

 

and i have no idea, what is the difference in the paints.. i just want it shiny :no2:

2pack is a much better quality job to my understanding.

 

backed up by the fact my grandpa did my uncles car several like 5+ years ago in a red with 2 pack. and we all know red fades insanely and it has been sitting in the country sun for all that time and the paint has not yet faded it still looks as good as it did when it was first done.

ohhh I'm pretty sure dad said we wont be doing it in acrylic so must be that, that we are doing it in :no2:

2 pack is good if you have the gear to use it safely. Most 2 pack paint (apart from

some of the newer types) requires the use of a full body suit and breathing apparatus.

I have heard of people painting 2 pack without the use of this gear but I don't think it is a great

idea, seeing it is quite toxic.
