nice paint job just 40 i should get that fella to do my car  ....so did you get the windows in today or did you get side tracked by something else again???

[Just40]

for those who dont know mr ek_nuts does all my painting, his only downfall is he has a modern car (ek) and i did get one window in son.

[Just40]

Put the new spot lights on, still have to square them up abit.

[Spinner]

I''l say.

They look so round!!

I think that when you knock them into a square shape, the lens might need to be ground to suit.  Which way square by the way?  Diamond or square?

Looks great,where did you get the headlights from....

[Just40]

autobarn sell the headlights, they are a semi seal beam light and with good h4 bulbs they are a good combinations. i have seen some on ebay but i dont know if they are as good as these ones.

Well, after being painted for nearly 8 weeks the car is about 40% covered in crazy cracking.

John,
       You must be shattered!  Have you used the same painter for all of your cars?  The thought of having to go back to square one for repainting would upsetting.  If you need any help, yell out!! Happy to give a hand if you need it.

John that just sucks  . I hope you can get it sorted.

Dean.

[Just40]

all the paint from my cars came from the same shop, used the same gun and the same painter, i still cant work out why it has done it, but looks like i will start from square one on monday.

[FC427]

Did this car go back to bare metal? What hardener did you use normal or fast ??......FC427......

[Just40]

thanks for the offer michael but i dont know if i am going to keep it now, all the glass and interior is in and i washed the dust off thats how i found the cracking.
the car was taken back to bare metal and sprayed with acrylic paint but the cracking is only in the red and not the white, so it must a fault with the red. but it still dont change it 

[RET]

That's a real shame, sorry to hear it.

[EffCee]

Hi John,

So sorry to hear that the paint is cracking, I repainted the flares on my Landcruiser and they cracked, apparently because I used acrylic over 2 pak, I have to take them back to the gel coat before I paint them again.

I don't see why it is cracking if you have used the same type of paint, still doesn't change the fact that it has.

If I wasn't so far away I too would offer to come and help, at the moment best I can do is wish you good luck with it, and hope that you don't give up on it.

Regards
