Sneak peek at the new paint
« on: August 05, 2016, 10:04:27 AM »
Well she has been in the planing for some time and 6 weeks ago she went in for paint.
Thought I would give you a little taste of what she was like from some shots I got from the paint booth last night.
Now the long road with doing the color sanding and buffing which I will be doing myself and the reinstall of all the bits and pieces hope to have her done by Xmas with all new trim as well.





Regards Rosco

Looks great :thumb:

It's a long slow job colour sanding and buffing but worth it.

Ray yes it's Black and no it was not original to this car.
Never going to get it ready by October .
Thanks Wabco took the inspiration from you. Did this yrs ago for a smash repairs I worked at part time. It's all in the preparation.
