Well folks,

Got another MMS from Ade today, he's primed up the outer shell with high build primer, which he says he rubs down till baby smooth. He will also use normal primer on the interior and engine bay before the colour go's on.

Really chuffed with how its looking now, i'm like a kid at christmas!! lol



Ade's going to send some digital pics through during the week so i'll get those up.

[Benn]

Very nice dude,
is that only one coat of primer? looks very light...
Loooks great tho! Excited for you dude...

[KeithRobinson]

Its high build primer. Its not light, the redness showing through isnt the e-coat as the doors were black as was the bonnet. Think its just the type of primer!

Keith

[Benn]

ah cool, might be quide coat then for when hes flatted it off,

Rot would make it faster, as big holes = less weight lol

Good progress mate... will you be waxing the shell when you get it back?

[Benn]

[Dec.]

i hope he will.

waxoyl'ing I should have said... I'm sure it'll be getting plenty of wax polish!!!

[KeithRobinson]

Yeah dec, i'll waxoil the chassis and main areas when i get it home

Well today I prepped the fuel tank, and used a fancy new contraption that Terri-ann found for me in Halfords for applying paint with aerosols.

It clips onto the top of most aerosols and allows you complete control of the can, much like using a professional spray gun. It defiantly made my life alot easier when spraying up the tank!





Here's the tank sanded down and wet/dried on both sides.




I painted one side, and then left it in the house to dry.




Dad then wanted to try out this new contraption, and he kindly painted the other side for me!




And the finished side:



Until the next update!
