been busy this weekend had had to work saturday morning and was out with friends in the evening so i have caught up on the mini today 

sorted out all of the floor taking off all of the remaining red oxide i put on as this stuff and my stone-chip spray really react badly. once this was done i sanded down any lumps and bumps and then sprayed over any bare metal with some rattle can primer ready for stone chip.

only managed to get the whole rhs floor done and the rhs underwing, also managed to spray all of the boot floor and arches before i ran out of paint   so had to order some more. however on the plus side 3/4 of the floor is sprayed and the remaining that isn't sprayed is ready for paint as soon as i have it. The inside of the boot is sprayed with stone-chip and is ready for yellow and the engine bay needs a quick rub down and primer, so all in all realistically i should be able to spray the whole underside, the inside of the boot and the engine bay at least by the end of the xmas holidays. hoping to also have the inside of the car done also however it depends on how well spraying goes haha.

Also i want a x in the rear of my cage as i think this looks really cool through the back window and also adds to strength, how hard would this be to cut right? as i have supplies to the right metal so would easily be able to get it.

thanks 

just ordered some paint stuff !!!

just brought all my paint for the car 

come to around £450 

5l bespoke inca yellow 

5l high build primer 

5l thinners 

400 grit paper 

800 grit paper

all in celly, the colour had to be custom made to match the inca yellow as they only had inca yellow in 2pack also the celly is more expensive, however the 2pack is far too dangerous for me to spray at home

happy christmas to the car, once again making me poor hahahah should have just rustoleum painted it, pictures of the paint tomorrow
