Garage paint job - Aussie GL project

Alan....

I'm now for the second time looking at your pics... What a color!!!!!!!!!

Is it self-mixed or which color is it?? And with the clearcote (i miss one letter but can think off which ) it looks real deep.

I'm also from the beginning of my project (2,5 years ago) thinking to paint my car myself.. I'm still doubting about that. But after seeing your pics I think maybe I can do that too

Just so nice!!

Keep up the good work!!

Wiebrand :agree:

please; can someone of the moderators kick the "to many pics / too many smilies message" on it's @$$.. Just verry irritating

Thanks very much gents, I am pretty pleased with the result considering that A) its my first attempt at a full car and have no training in the area, and B) it was done in a garage.

Some orange peel yep....and I guess that is where the experience comes into play re. maybe laying it a little heavier, adding a little less/more reducer...and all those other variables that I am yet to learn a lot about! The colour sanding will help with the depth though.

And yep, a few bugs/insects landed in the paint but not too many fortunately!

Thanks to Bill K., I now know how to post pics - here is the body back on the pan (taken today).....it will come off once more to finish repainting the pan and colour sanding roof, interior etc.

I have had another beam narrowed 80mm and will have some spacers made for the front so I can regain some turning circle! Just have to trial fit the beam to weld on the steering stops and steering box locating tabs.

The colour is from the BMW range but with a few custom tints applied to make it different

Looks great! I'm taking auto body and paint classes this semester, and I'll be painting my Super. Your car is an inspiration.
