Part 1 of the paint freshen up begins.....

Pics.















You get the idea all ready for primer, few bits that have been bugging me from the oem paint like the door top and finally my rear bumper strips and all around so no more flaking and dodgy oem patchey paint...

Can't wait... All done at home with 800 wet flat ready for top coat some of it....

Take it you spray cars for a living ?.

Omg do my car!! Haha
Argh There's so many little niggerly bits in my paint that need doing. Like one per every panel! it's depressing

Yeah mate, full on rolls Royce and bentley restorer/welder/painter yeah....

It's pretty cool and handy tbh as all my niggly bits get done asap ha...

Niggly bits bug me SOOO MUCH HA.

Ah sounds like a cool job, that was my first apprentaship spraying cars I wish I had been able to finish it but the company went bust and I only really learnt basics and prep work... Lots and lots of prep work lol.

Yeah most new lads only do prep etc, takes time to gain trust and that. Even more on a car at our place that cost 250,000 lol...

Pics of the primmer stage and de-stonechipping. Minty fresh...
