Mk1Mad Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 looking good man, im jellous of ur speed!! Just thought idd put up a few pics for thought. Be careful with ur warrents with the widened wheels cause some places have issues with them (talked to a guy thats raced on them 4 ages and says hes never heard of them failing tho). Classic british paint job would be sick. This is my old clubbie, crappy red colour but it cost me $650 or so, had a sweet 1275, drums all round. Those are widened steels. Heres what i recon u should do it like, old school clubman style maybe with a bit of a custom graphic or something. Ull have to get some type of flares to cover those wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cute wee gem Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 :nice colour:good gun :noobpainter expecting good results , keep up the good work mang Cheers, I'll be doing it in the garage though, bit of a hassle to get it to town (can't just tow it like we did the Colt) So, garage job it will be. I'll do it mid morning instead of afternoon so no bugs. I'll get it %100 ready to go the night before, clean garage etc Anything else you reckon I should do before/during? Quite a few coats, about 3 base, 2-3 top then about 3-4 of the pearl (I'll use a little bit first just to see how strong it shows up) and as much claer as I can pile on top!

avenger79 Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 I wouldn't go as far as calling you a noob mate. -Don't paint in the rain(or when theres moisture in the air) -Don't open&close the shed door ^key rules. Remember to do lighter coats then what you normally do with non-metallics. light,fast and even coats are very important with metallics.same as can be said with pearls.the paint can tend to swirl&tel-sag(workshop nickname for metallic sag ) if you lay it on too wet, so be careful. Wet the floor or atleast cover it if your worried about overspray. Also because of the size of the car,i'd be inclined to raise it up on wood,bricks etc And you should already no this: mix the paint in one go.
