Title: Fee from Trudle Post by: leon on August 07, 2004, 07:25:29 AM :)G Day Fellows & Ladies.
Here is a photo of the car so far. I sprayed the roof recently. the bottom half will be done in a week or two. The roof colour is matched to the rear view mirror and the door's interior, the only parts I think had the true colour that was'nt faded. Regards. Leon ;) Title: Re: Fee from Trudle Post by: leon on August 07, 2004, 07:33:06 AM Here is another shot.

Shouldn't the top colour go all the way down the A pillars though? It looks a lovely colour. Keep up the good work and keep us updated. Regards Alex Title: Re: Fee from Trudle Post by: leon on August 07, 2004, 10:36:10 PM :)G Day Alex.
I didn't bother with the colour down the pillars because its all covered up by the rubber & the chrome covers. See photo. Thanks for your response. Regards Leon ;) Title: Re: Fee from Trudle Post by: robbzfc58 on August 08, 2004, 12:48:31 AM leon that looks like a pretty good body to start with

Basically the paint on the back of the drip rail.
Have a look at a couple of other specials and you will see what I mean Ken Title: Re: Fee from Trudle Post by: HAD 708 on August 08, 2004, 08:19:55 PM Leon
I argree with Ken you will see a small line of paint down the A pillar. You have done such a great job on the rest shame to spoil it on such a small area.

Title: Re: Fee from Trudle Post by: leon on September 14, 2004, 09:45:06 AM :)Thanks Mick. Col for your intrest.
Answer to Col RE' the paint. I use acrylic paint as I find it easy to use and to repair a scratch or a chip its easy as you don't have to spray the whole panel & Mick I believe if one takes his or her time at what they want to do. They can do it' you don't have to get a spray painters license to spray a car or a mechanical trade to change a spark plug or put new rings in a motor. Was James watt a electrician befor he discovered electricty or the wright brothers have a pilot licence to fly there first airoplane, We all can do most things if we have confidence and beleave in ourselfs. Just Look at Sir edmund hillary. |
