April 18, 201016 yr Author comment_430663 well i did a bit more work one the body i am giving it a few coats of high filler primer and well i wasnt totally happy with the first coat i did back a few months ago so i sanded it back lightly and decided i want to try and get as many imprefection out as possible cause i don't want to ruin the paint job and it is my first job with a proper gun and compressor the other day i high filled the guards and sanded them lightly and added the grey primer coat and both guards are no ready for the green when i get around to sourcing the paint that is PS: i know about the small dint in the guard but its not the going the most perfect job even thou thats sometimes what we strive for and well i do kinda have a time frame and want it on the road asap lol Edited April 18, 201016 yr by Undertaker_is_the_best Report

April 20, 201016 yr comment_431320 managed to get home from work early today and well i guess did some work to the body again more primer filler lol and will upload pics when i get a chance just curious what are your overall plans for this like, suspension, running gear, interior etc keep up the work Report
April 20, 201016 yr comment_431324 well the atomic is a clear on base thing. so for the basecoat its quite transluscent. for my 55 we used 3 litres just for the outside. so for inside and out perhaps get 4-5 litres? that will mix up to 8-10litres with the 1:1 mixing ratio. also if you were to use a silver basecoat before it'll cover more easily and make the colour 'Pop' Report
