looking good

any tips on the work that you have done? like how many coats did you use and are you going to use a clear over the top or is there no need with acrylic? and what grade wet are you going to rub it back with or are you just going to buff it out and hope for the best?

sorry for all the questions but im new and keen on doing this myself soon

sorry for late reply..... been on hols..

well it was our 1st time so ask round some more before u do it yourself....

we ended up usiing 10 coats of paint........ 6 of primer...

sanding with 1500 wet and dry.

use spray putty to remove all ur imperfections....

its a start.....dont use it as a bible tho......

cheers.

Any more pics Man Looking very nice what was Your Prep time? Few days Few weeks or Months?

Looks excellent, and I can't wait to see it finished. I have a feeling it will look VERY mean! Are you going for wide flares and tyres to make it look more angry?

That's actually relatively easy. The hard part is putting back together without scratching/chipping the paint.

I hate hanging doors and fitting bonnets

looks pretty sweet! Did you leave the engine in whilst you painted it? I'm guessing it was under all that wrap in the pics.
