Re: She's almost ready for trax

The body is painted in celulose, and hasnt been laquered. I know it aint great, but ill be respraying it next easter, so it'll look a little better.

The bumper colour doesnt quite match the body work, as i run out of paint and couldnt get a match, but for now its alright.

I know its not perfect, as anyone going to trax will see, but its a damn sight better that it was 6 months ago

Re: She's almost ready for trax

Re: She's almost ready for trax

Actually, do you have the spec of that paint? I'm pretty sure my mate wanted that look a while back.

Just the brand of paint, any thinners etc.

Cheers
