Looks like i'm too late on the signature front, got any more plans for her mate?






Yep your too late!

Nothing else major planned really , I want to give the engine bay a bit of a tidy up and the wheels are starting to corroded a bit , might get them done next year sometime and paint the calipers
but... I'm sure I will think of more.............

Is that approval from Carlt !

No, he primed it on a Friday and painted it on the Monday , lacqured it on the same day I think

ps, straight swap for your plus now?

I think Yellow is one of the best colours if it is taken care of

I have figured it out! the reason it looks so good! The guys stole a Chrono LE and paineted it yellow see

Proof!

I'll er get my coat

I think that the grey primer looks BETTER than a Chrono LE

So do I - got the paint and bodywork to do on mine this year and funds dependant may change the colour completely - currently rosso but am thinking grey or white.

Again it will all come down to cost and think it may stay red but the primer grey colour is soo tempting

Could but would be daft, just get primer coloured base.

Finish could be as good or as bad as you want it to be.

Great looking respray

I would definately get some protective film like Ventureshield put on the front now end now. Protect your investment.

Never knew you could get such a thing is that something that sprays on ? or is kind of like a clingfilm sort of thing ?

Probably too late now..............had a tragic incident with a shelf today
Hadn't started the coop for a while and went down to the shed and drove it back and forth a few times with the bonnet open , forgetting about a shelf on the wall
Scrarched the side of the bonnet down to the primer
Not that bad really , about 2" , but gutted have only done 30 mile since the respray and damage it in the shed!!

Unlucky Kev, but at least you know you did it rather than it just appearing on your car if that makes sense
