Right. Got her painted today.

Got it in the booth, and painted the roof black, then masked up for red..


Red painted..


Lacquered



Also painted all the panels and bits n bobs





Oh and also painted my new arches satin black


A few random pictures..



Mmmm positive camber anyone?

The colour looks great in the sun! basecoat and lacquer has so much more depth than solid gloss.. plus it won't go pink, which is a boon.


And I got a picture of my new bonnet release and relocated switches..


Polish it tomorrow I remember to wake up!

cheers beater peter

Nope, because you're using celly. You only need to lacquer basecoat. Yours will be fine, just keep it clean and polished! celly does age quicker than 2k, but not very fast if you look after it.
