Hi Lefty

Slow going on both at the moment!!!

I have had a few complications with the knee so things are not progressing as fast as I would like. Also the painter I am using has just broken his wrist so he's out of action for the next six weeks or so.
At least it gives me more time to recover and get the car prepped.

I have managed to strip the car and its about 3/4's blocked out. At this stage I am looking at another few months before its painted and then sanding and buffing.

I have finally got the car ready for paint. I just have to wait for my painter to come good now, should be done next month!!!

I used 3M dry guide coat when blocking this time. Previously I just sprayed a guide coat on with rattle can paint, the dry guide coat powder is much better and shows every little nick/pinhole and fault in the surface.

I will do a lot of the under car masking while its still on the hoist. When it gets in the spray booth then the wheels will be removed and the car put up on axle stands. The wheel wells and underside will then be masked down to the floor.

Hopefully my next post will be with the car painted!!!

I actually like the look of thing rubbed back that mat non gloss finish makes it look tough as

I could possibly shoot it with a matt clear coat but I think matt finishes are more of a fad.

I prefer the high gloss with chrome bumpers and polished ali wheel look.
