Painting Done At Last!
Daddylonglegs - 22/10/11 at 05:15 PM

Well, it took longer than I thought, and some areas are a little under-par compared to others but, for a first attempt at spraying I'm quite chuffed

Still a couple of bits to touch-in and some polishing to do but as good as done now thank God!

What do you guys reckon then? (Warning, picture heavy!)

Looks fanastic. You should be proud.

That's a splendid job, puts my clumsy efforts to shame.

richardR1 - 22/10/11 at 05:28 PM

That looks superb, nice to see something original.

Looks good to me

Good work fella! Now get a shiny exhaust on it and make the most of all that hard-work!

scootz - 22/10/11 at 05:31 PM

It's fate...

Looks very nice mate and that exhaust would make a nice finishing touch

What colour blue is that?

Cheers Scootz

Funny you should say that mate, I have just converted the 2-pipe into a 2-1 so I can fit a single pipe exhaust can. I have a couple already that I am going to try, but I just want to make sure the dB is acceptable so Mr IVA doesn't get grumpy with me on the test

Also, money IS an object with the IVA looming up fast

And thanks to everyone for the positive comments It was hard work and I had a couple of scary paint moments, but all OK in the end.

Thanks chap, it's actually a Honda Violet metallic (can get the number if you need it). The yellow is Suzuki Yellow Pearl.

Thanks mate. The Pinto badge was a gift by my darling wi-fee. She found an original from a Mustang on the bay of E in the USA so bought it for the brum brum. Finishes it off nicely I reckon, one on the back too (also original)
