muz Posted December 7, 2011 Author Share Posted December 7, 2011 Looking good will the wheels be staying white for that rally slag look?? can"t wait to see more pics!! Yeah, wheels are staying white. Conor gave them a good de-grease and jet wash while they were off the car and they've come up really well! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/murray_eversham/FakeCos/IMG_1907.jpg Well today me and Conor cracked on with 320 wet sanding the shell followed by a wet sand with 800 all by hand. Everyone is amazed at how flat and nice looking the panels have come out considering they are fibreglass. A combination of many, many hours by me in the workshop high building and wet sanding the shell and Marc laying a very high build primer had done wonders. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/murray_eversham/FakeCos/IMG_1896.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/murray_eversham/FakeCos/IMG_1898.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/murray_eversham/FakeCos/IMG_1899.jpg While we were blocking the shell off, Marc cracked on with painting the lower spoiler, bonnet and both bumpers. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/murray_eversham/FakeCos/IMG_1891.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/murray_eversham/FakeCos/IMG_1895.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/murray_eversham/FakeCos/IMG_1894.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/murray_eversham/FakeCos/IMG_1892.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/murray_eversham/FakeCos/IMG_1893.jpg The finish straight out of the gun is pretty good http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/murray_eversham/FakeCos/IMG_1901.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/murray_eversham/FakeCos/IMG_1900.jpg Then it was off with the wheels so we can get paint properly on all the arch lips etc. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/murray_eversham/FakeCos/IMG_1902.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/murray_eversham/FakeCos/IMG_1903.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/murray_eversham/FakeCos/IMG_1904.jpg Tried on of Marcs 17x8 ET15 Comps. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/murray_eversham/FakeCos/IMG_1905.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/murray_eversham/FakeCos/IMG_1906.jpg And all masked up ready for paint first thing. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/murray_eversham/FakeCos/IMG_1908.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v283/murray_eversham/FakeCos/IMG_1909.jpg So should have a fully painted car by tomorrow night with the doors and tailgate following Friday. :king: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
