So this weekend we got most of the final wet rubbing done on the rest of the panels, using 800 grit wet&dry.

Basically the final inspection to ensure we haven't missed any dints or imperfections in the panels. They look amazing just in primer whilst wet (it's just water).

Booth is organised for Saturday! I'll be sure to post some pics of actual paint then!!

Cheers man! I'm just the apprentice I can assure you

Today is going to be the first day we see RED!

[freakygeek]

So today was a pretty big day for the car.



Tedious masking job!



Masked off the areas that will be red so the black basecoat could be sprayed.



Black areas sprayed



Along with misc black parts



More tedious masking!



Then cover the roof so the red can be sprayed.







Unmask it all so clear can be sprayed!



First coat of clear



After 2nd coat. So flat and glossy. My painter, Brett, does an incredible job.











The rest of the panels will be sprayed tomorrow!

Looks awesome! You weren't tempted to paint the roof red?

[Blulude98]

Hahaha. Too much porn here? The next update is porn IMO....

[freakygeek]

What a huge day! I'm so excited about the results that Brett has achieved with this job. It's truly incredible quality and the phone pics just don't do it justice at all.

Unmasked the car and got it out of the booth


Obligatory reflection shot of Riley


Underside of the bootlid looking awesome and even better than OEM.


Booth load of parts


And it begins! First coat of base.







4 coats were required to get full coverage. This meant we ran short of paint and will need to buy more to paint the remaining bumper parts! Oh well. We couldn't fit them in the booth today anyhow.

Clear coat stage. The exciting bit where the flat red turns into its glossy wet looking finished product.





End results!

















Incredible gloss straight off the gun. No orange peel here!




And that's it for today folks!
