bronze4door Posted March 6, 2010 Author Share Posted March 6, 2010 unfortunately there are no real updates but it would be getting painted this month the only reason it has not been done is the paint booth has not been built and the painter has been trying to get quick jobs in and out to cover all the bills once there is progress i'll update this thread and once it is painted it will soon be built back up so there will be lots of progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LiamGTR Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Why are you only doing the shuts and bay in that colour? Looks good by the way i'm just curious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronze4door Posted April 25, 2010 Author Share Posted April 25, 2010 (edited) the whole car is going that colour, the engine bay and door shuts are being painted first then the bonnet bootlid and doors will be put back on so it will all get painted in one go and it is the cars original colour of copper brown Edited April 25, 2010 by bronze4door Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosworth909 Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 wouldnt it of been easier to paint the doors bonnet and tailgate of the car in one job then paint the shell in another go because now he is gonna have to mask out all the boot bonnet everything because overspray is going to go under the car into the engine bay then your nice new smooth finish is gonna be rough from the overspray????
