Ok I am absolutely useless at updating this thread!
So I have really got my butt in gear and me and the old man have been on it minimum 2 nights a week to push it on. We really needed it sprayed before winter drew in! So the last time I was on here I was mid installing arches. Well Ill let the pictures do the talking (because thats the best bit!)
SO now all the arches are on, it was the slow process of etch primer, fill rub down, primer, repeat....
Even got the missis to help out again! When I said she could help I meant make the tea but whatever... KIDDING!! She does alot of spray tans for a living and really picked it up quickly!!
The gloss looks great but it showed up a lot of imperfections! So after thinking we were ready for top coat, we had to step back, rub down, primer, repeat for the next 6 weeks. Painfully slow process but it all makes it worth it in the end!
No filters for the primer- rookie mistake! Now got to rub down blobs out the gun!
So made a mock up of a spray booth, done a spot of spring cleaning and then we were ready!
Bad weather and our conditions are nowhere near the extent of a professionals! First off, started with the small gun, to do the niggly bits and engine bay and ended up getting carried away and covering the lot!! Decided to go with Vermillion and I'm so glad I did!
Got an absolutely lovely finish on the paint however this is only a (although very thick) tack coat.... So now next job is to take the paper to it and rub it all down for another coat! But for now its just nice to look at and hope that the next coat comes out so well!!
So still got the rest of the panels to go as only done the underside of them, and another top coat, but (I've said it before but I really, really mean it this time!!) I will be able to keep up with the updates instead of years at a time! Once its sprayed its the fun bit, putting it back together
