So, is Derek putting some Magenta on for you next week Mart.....

Very nice Derek, Celly ? if so, what Brand these days ? It was Berger when I first started yielding a gun, Max Mayer, and the last I think was ICI

Cracking job, such pace in such a limited space

Great to see the photo's keep coming. Reg is going to to busy over Christmas with the reassembly

Bloody ell reg, that looks great! ....has derek got any yellow left over he would like to spray over mine! Can't wait to see some more pics of it going back together.

Hope all the chrome/trim/badges etc come up alright, you know what it's like when it looked o.k on the old car but against new paint it suddenly dos'nt look so bright! :wink: , i shamefully have to admit to not having done anything to mine lately :oops: mainly due to work problems etc, but seeing that gleaming paint is quite inspiring!

Good luck with it and happy christmas,

Cheers Neil.

Sorry David..as requested Sir.. Thanks for the kind comments guys and gals..

All panels now back on..

As it's Inca, these next two photo's are a closer shade..

Image

Sexy rear black panel painted, but note that the boot hasn't.. Just in case anyone at first glance thought the finish was naff! :lol:

Image

It's all done now (including boot) 8) , but I can't collect it because of the bad weather...very frustrating! :( :)

Very nice.

We had expected to see it finished of course, but, if a job's worth doing...

This is going to be one very nice car, keep the piccies coming, nice to see some colour, lot of white around at the moment, i've got three white cars and a white van

And the black on the sill looks to have been applied mm accurate to the OE finish, retaining the colour on the top few mm, attention to detail from Derek, as we have come to expect.....it is so easy to mask off at the sill return and blast the semi matt at it, masking up that bit lower down takes an extra few minutes
