This is looking ace dude!

[ryan22_lgm]

Got a fair bit done!
Finished rubbing the inside down in 180/320 then sheeted the car up!


At this point also I blew as much dust out and drew greased inside as best I could!
The it was time for a coat of etch !


This was given an hour or so to dry then sealer applied tonight. This took me ages!!!! Trying to get it nice and smooth.



Right as this took me so long I couldn't get on to priming and painting so that will have to be done in the morning!!! Update to follow!

Awesome

[ryan22_lgm]

Got back from work today and scotched the etch up ready for high build then went for it!!!



Gave that a good 45mins to flash off and chucked 2 coats of paint on! I would not advise doing this without a full face mask and whites with a hood. I now have blue hair XD


Ignor the parcel shelf this is being covered !


Quite happy with it! Got 1 run but it's covered with the sun visors so should be ok! :) I will give this a few days to go off before I start in the engine bay and boot painting. Also need to finish the bootlid for primer.

Cheers mate using 2k solid colour prefer it over cellulose. :)

Today at work me and my mate decided my arches needed to be made to fit as the next job. So a trip to john Taylor fastenings I got a load of riv nuts and nice Allen stainless bolts. Took a fair bit of messing around to get them all sitting nice but all sorted

Then all test fitted on ! Looks beast!!!!!!


Warning to anyone buying these arches! Do not but the cheapo versions from eBay and Huddersfield spares. This is my second set from arc angels as the others I got from Huddersfield didn't remotely fit!

Very nice arches, what's the model of them? What size rims/tyres are you running under those?

[ryan22_lgm]

They are group 2 wide arches mate. I have a set of force racing special split rims to go on. 10x7" running yoko tyres.
Hope this helps !

This looks very cool, its going to sit so well once down on the floor with those wheels...

I'm torn between the shine/durability of 2K and the classic look of cellulose paint. Needless to say the 2K really shows good results
