done more to the shell and masked up this morning and its in primer now,also have smoothed the ridge in the side skirts out to make them look smoother,

here are some pics, looks soo much beta all one colour, think it may actually turn out ok........... hehe

Wow, just... wow. Had a look in your garage and there is so many cars you have done, and all with a top quality finish. Amazing work there.

Do you do the mechanics side of things as well to the cars ? Or just body work ?

I was thinking the same, its very nice colour on that mirror, look forward to seeing the full car done.

Looks a million times better just in primer than when you got this one.

cant wait to see pics.

when i was looking at gettin the pearl added, i was told all that was needed was to wet flat the car, marsk it up, panel wipe it etc then all the pearl in the laqure, then add a few coats of normal clear laqure then flat it back again and buff

yea thats basically right, this is a really suttle pearl, same as the orange car but used twice as much gold pearl on that one!! this on will basically look red with nice gold pearl when u look close at it!! maybe more in the sun........no chance of any sun at the moment tho!!

should look nice and its cost effective, which is wot i needed on this car! its only a cheap project so not going to huge efforts to get it totally mint! but certenly 20times beta then when i picked car up
