door handles need to be sprayed also

[Smoky]

Great job Ando.. I bet it looks better in the flesh!! you picked a nice colour there

[S13Deviat]

Thanks peeps for the kind words! The photos don;t do the colour justice as they were taken on a overcast day so not all the colours and pearl showed through!

But i will have it out and about soon enough to see in the flesh!

Damn your very brave! I would never contemplate such a project. To many factors that could possibly go wrong. Outside especially! So hows the final finish? I mean, is it show quality?

Finish is no bad at all considering first attempt ever and was done outside in the elements. Just needs the final cut back of clear coat and a good ole buff!

looks the goods.

door handles need to be sprayed also

Yeah considered that but was in the too hard basket!!!

[Primordial]

Woah.. Fantastic work Ando!

Sounds like a great deal of hard yakka, but it must be worth it in the end! Looks awesome!

[Moanie]

lol! man.. the way you were describing it, i was expecting a really blotchy job, but it looks fantastic!!! good work!

[S13Deviat]

Tah John and Moanie

Yeah i sort of made it sound worse than it is... as said the finish has some belmishes in it but they should come out with the last cut back and buff. Should bring it up to a glassy finish

Did you put plastic on the floor aswel?

Also did you put plastic on the insides of the tents? (the metal and fabric parts)

[Trust33]

nice stuff right there.backyard jobs are teh cool!

[dontfeelcold]

Was just about to ask how you managed to contain the mess. But noticed you had tents up with plastic sheeting, go the home booth. Did you use any ventilation when spraying to extract the paint floating in the air or was the tent open at the ends? What gun did you use?

[sh@un]

geez

wish i'd had the energy to do that on my old car

Yeah had plastic down of floor for majority of time, but was gravel anyway so didnt really matter. You dont get that much overspray at all.

No plastic on inside of tents just sides with $1 drop sheets :sorcerer:

Yes had ventilation going thru with holes and drop sheets at rear and half one at front. Once we sprayed pulled front and back up to allow some air through.

That looks awesome.....love the colour, very unique

looks good mate. I've seen a paint shop in japan that could learn a bit from that effort. the were just painting out the front of their shop on a busy road next to the auction house!

well done for having a go anyway
