Painting the Front Bodywork

Today Duncan and I did, lots of fill, sand, stopper, flat back, topcoat 1, topcoat 2, and gloss coat.  We have no fingerprints left  the air is filled with the heady scent of paint.

But we have created this!  Now be aware that the colour is slightly darker than reality  as my camera’s relation to the blue/white balance is a bit off.  But the shine is all real… and all our own work.

The picture above was taken before the lacquer was applied, and below is the “after” shot

Unfortunately the rest of the car will look nowhere near as good as the panels are all star cracked and broken.. but at least the front looks nice :-)   I am most distinctly well chuffed.
