1966 404 Coupé Injection Restoration

Too good to be true - today's update is that a 300 SL bumped the 404C out of the booth and so next week may be the magic day.

The good news: the 404 C will be in the spray booth Friday, 11 August! The final preparation and priming will be done tomorrow. The bad news: paint will only be applied on Monday, 14 August. So I won't be visiting the car until Friday the 18th.

Last weekend I washed the floor of the garage on Saturday!

The car has been in the paint booth since Friday and today was to be paint day but Andy, the painter, required a final fettling, being a perfectionist. So....paint goes on Wednesday 16 August.

Dark blue paint, I love it! 

There are a  few more on the restoration page, under "paint": http://www.coachwerks.com/MT1966Peugeot404C/paint.html

It was a bit overcast when we saw the car yesterday.  There are three colour base coats.  Once the paint finishes off-gassing over the weekend, wet blocking will begin.  Once the base coats are mirror smooth, three clear top coats will be applied, with wet blocking again.
