well, after a miss matched colour match on the new front bumper we got for a mates 200sx, and the cost of painting it again being nearly as much as just painting it a new colour, we went to work last week

the painting was a case of white base coat, neon orange colour, then lacquer.

how it started, kinda orange pearl colour.



damage which caused all the hassle.



stripdown



bit of boot flatting







who needs a welder when you have fibreglass matting



filled a wee dent in the door, appeared to be some filler work before



another couple of small dents





random





getting there



the back bumper was full of cracks, so ground them down and a bit of filler to build it back up, the paint only lasts about a year before it fades so when its sprayed again it'll get a new rear anyway.









dont ask about the masking, wasnt me



sexy sanding boy





all taped up











THE RANDOM BOX OF MYSTERY! well, box of bolts n screws



sillyness





professional helper poles, which are essential when sticking skirts on













um...



the owner in question



white base coat





and...thats it for now, neon is on, lacquer in on, but still to be completely flatted and polished then rebuilt, its looking good

its not being kept the same?? neon orange is way different to the orange that was on it, only lasts a year...so, didnt cost much white is for the base coat, needed for the orange.


thats the most similar colour i can find, but the 200sx seems brighter.
