a LIL fishing village on the coast - Newcastle Upon Tyne

well found someone to paint me car up, i rollled her out to take some pics (the garage wants to see what stage the car is in before they quote me)...in a moment of euphoria (which was brough on by my mini in the outside air) i thought i would start rubbing her down further with wet and dry. 45 mins later totally sick as F*** however after a wipe down with a tack rag the paintwork is no longer shiny just got to somehow get it to the garage. she is going to be VW Gelb yellow with a white roof, as inspired by a mini i once saw :) :):) you know who you are buddy ! anyway here is some pics of my lack of progress :)

should add the car was still wet on the roof at the time the shots were taken, and the charge cooler is only retro fitted, it will be fitted more tidy when i get the chance.

The home made looking charge cooler is a great idea .... I have loads of th eall alloy Rover TDi intercoolers that might just work out well as a charge cooler as they can be welded easily.

How fast and how expensive ...... the same question...

:) i have been told off my local club members that i should reduce the shell to bare metal ? is that not a tad excessive, i would have thought it would make painting it much much harder ?

the intercooler is 2wd cosworth, it may not even work, but i got to try !!! just trying to figure out how to come back throughthe bulkhead and onto the plenum / turbo without too many bends.

opinion is devided with the bare metal thing.

Most body shops won't do it, so long as the new paint ant the old paint don't react that is!!!

However most private individuals will do it.

Modern 2pk primers mean you don't need to etch prime (well, only on composite materials).

Trust me, the is a way in which we can all still use 2pk for the forseeable future ... I'll explain more when I have 100% of the facts, around 95% at the moment. 2pk is nasty so make sure you look after yourself, and others.

I'm going to see how Candice's mini reacts, if I don't need to go back to bare I won't, if I do I will. If you use an isolator / blocker you should be fine though.

LOL .... beauty of 2pk ..... straight from the gun finish....

"Why should I spend hours with wet sanding when I can just spray and go?????" ...... somehow works better with some fit bird going on about shampoo ... which is odd..... I mean why would you be listening to her ...... LOL
