Epic job...Had reaction, rust, fibreglass, filler, dents...
Ended up using a litre of 2pack acrylic on it! Painted inside with a brush then sprayed, outside repaired, sealed, build primered, flatted, build, flat, reaction yuck! Build, flat, colour, tiny reaction! flat, colour, micro reaction, flat, colour and it was done!
I got a really nice gun finish using some cheapo self contained spray thing meant for doing small objects..Had to thin the paint alot for final coat, got a few runs, has been flatted out with 800grade, then 1500 graded..
It awaits a final polish with G3 cutting compound and a wax...Must say it'll kick the arse of the paint job on the car and the E-Type when done!
Like a piece of glass, not a ripple in sight...all the seamed are well sealed, glossy gutters...I'll ram some waxoyl in the internal parts after its finished.
Buffed a small area and its like a best finish I have ever seen :) All a bit OTT but I do like things right!
I will be adding a new rear window, simply bonded in with white adheseal, no screws etc like before...Also the new window will be pearled polycarbonate, it looks like a really mild pearl effect glass...Really cool! 3mm polycarb.
Really pleased, I bloody hate bodywork. I want the car to have all these odd jobs done before it hits the road!
