in top coat so here are the pictures, its being 800 wet tomorrow all over then i will give another 3-5 coats of paint with a 25% paint 75% thinners ratio, for that ultra shine.
overal i am happy with the finish so far, there are a few bugs and bits in the paint and 2 runs but these are only minor things that will come out in the wet sand tomorrow, the car has a really good shine considering it was a 50/50 ratio mix and no flatting back has been done, it has had 3 coats so far. so excited by it,can't believe I'm this close to being finished. have been waiting so long to have my car in paint, has some reacting on the roof which i sorted all that needs now is a flat down and then its ready for some gloss black! this will be most likely next weekend possibly sunday if tomorrows weather is okay, however i need to get the paint first.
boot lid still needs to be sanded on the inside and there are some pinholes on the passenger door which need sorting but I'm well chuffed with it, for a first time spraying i think the finish isn't bad and I'm not even done with the paint yet, there are a few marks and 1 or 2 dents but i can live with that, it will be a daily, not a show car. i have never restored a car before and have learnt everything for the first time that i have done along the way anyway here are the piccys
that shine out of the gun
looks lush with mk1 lights on, there there not bolted in yet so may not be sitting right in the pictures, but you get the idea
now in the garage for the first time with paint on
I'm pleased with how the deseaming turned out
that is all until tomorrow, paint has been a big step in the resto of this car and it shows that it is all coming to the end of the resto build....
