I started 6:30 this morning and I've stripped her out, filled 1 or to bits, flatted her down and now she is ready for blowing off and cleaning up ready to get the body painted.

I will start a project thread when I've finished the painting as don't have time now...

But thought I'd let you know how she is getting on.

Can't wait to see the final result, if you could please keep the pictures coming all the way, so we could see all the steps to beauty :sun:

Yeah,keep the pics coming mate

Looks awsome mate can't wait to see the finished thing

Stage 1 of painting

So how come you're doing a full respray? Just bored of the colour?

Show car matey

Roof first coat of clear with green metal flake

Nice! Late one for you tonight!!

Oh yes!!! Not going home till she is painted!!! It's a long night on your own

Should look spot on! I've got a purple flake in my roof paint, but its only visible in the sun's reflection. I didn't want it too tarty

Edit: Are you a bodyshop / resprayer by trade?

Had purple flake in my scooby show car..

Yes fella bin doing 12 years now and starting up on my own in the next 6 months when the vrs is done

How far from East Devon are you Mine's going to need some work soon, mainly some rust correction on one arch and a front end respray.

I'm working in Woking at the mo but as I say going to start up in Hampshire near home

Ah, something I am thinking about next year probably. I've been claying and machine polishing my car today, so all those little marks and such like have been annoying me.

Anyway! Get back to work! :p

Roofs all flatted down again ready to be masked up to be au raped when the clear goes on to the car so it gets 5 coats of clear for a deep 3d affect

Now the exciting bit..... Colour

Looking good! This is the flaky roof I was on about earlier. I took a shot earlier as I was tarting her up

Do like the purple matey... Looks spot on

Come on, stop talking do the job, I wanna see it :rofl:

Wet on wet is on

Now for a splash of colour

Looking good!!! Tired yet??

I'm ready for bed but looking at this after the clear coat is on.... Few more redbulls and black coffee and I'm going to finish her tonight (doors, boot and bonnet)

What do you boys think?

Awesome work there So shiney!

Your gonna make a few people on here jealous!

P.S how much to do mine in gunmetal?

Oh boy... this car look so good.....

Fantastic colour choice's it sure is something different from the normal one's. The whole body colour is something similar to one of the lad's Corrado's who works at Tarox. Is it a normal swatch colour or one which you have made up yourself?
