Resprayed My 33

[TWINS33]

hey all

thought i would post up pics of my 33 i have just repainted.

i just turned 3rd year apprentice and this was about my 5th complete repaint

not telling the paint colour but painted my rims in straight white tinter so there as white as white can be!

i did not complete the panel work got my apprentice panel beater friend to do that for me which took about a week after hours, the paint side took me 2 weeks after hours

the panel beater used minimal bog, just re skimmed the existing bog in the quarters to get rid of waves

i painted all the "insides" and all small bits spoiler mirrors handles etc at home, then drove to work and used the booth to do the outside and bumper bars

i also repainted the wipers and side pillars in black and that completed the respray making the whole thing look new again

i didnt bother doing the engine bay as simply too much effort takaing the engine out to do it, and masking it up would have been a absouloute c**t. plus being black it doesnt look too bad anyway

enjoy

Looks good mate! Being in the industry is always a good thing! I'm an apprentice mechanic myself with a few panel beater ans spray painter mates, so you cant beat mates rates!

Just a warning with those wheels... They're a c*nt to clean! I've got the same ones in white, and I want to paint them black

Anything else planned for this?

You can always put a few coats of Kandy(ur choice of color) over the top later on if you get too sick being the same Blue as the others.U sprayed it didnt u ,so youll be able to handle that,, P.S whenever u buy or paint something , straight after you start noticing people with the same sh*t,, everytime
