MORE PAINT ON THE DUSTER !!!

Yup, Just put the second coat on the rear flanks and am waiting a bit then putting the third (final) one on.

The drivers door didn't get done in the end but the Flanks are a bonus !

It's looking sweet. Ahem. Mean.

I'll let Chris put some more piccy's up . . . . . . . .

EXCELENT work - i can hardly believe its the same car!

Roadkill · « **Reply #53 on:** December 31, 2005, 07:01:23 am »

It's getting there.

Slightly slower then first thought but still.

Not perfect but close.

Well I got the roof, cowl and posts done, finished, yesterday.

Also got the Drivers side door and sill finished too.

IF some idiot hadn't forgotten their Camera you'd be able to see some pictures . . . .

You'll have to wait a day or so.

Only got the Passenger side door, shut and sill to do.

I Have got to re-address the lower flanks at some point but that's easily hide-able.

Is it coming to the Fancott tomorrow? or still more work needed? will be great to see it out again

No.

After the paint is finished it'll be hidden away for at least a month for the paint to harden fully.

Chemicals (eg Bird Sh!t) can ruin a painted finish before its final rub-down and cut.

Plus it has no brakes at the mo'.

FUBAR · « **Reply #63 on:** January 03, 2006, 06:04:51 am »

Nice black floor too... ;-)

Roadkill · « **Reply #64 on:** January 03, 2006, 06:05:40 am »

Yeah. That'll be fun explaining that away . . . .

FUBAR · « **Reply #65 on:** January 03, 2006, 06:06:13 am »

LOL has nobody else been in yet to see it?

Roadkill · « **Reply #66 on:** January 03, 2006, 06:08:03 am »

Not really. My MD saw it when it had Black wings and bonnet . . . That's it.

FUBAR · « **Reply #67 on:** January 03, 2006, 06:09:19 am »

out of interest how does satin black stand up to greasy mit prints? is it like normal paint or more like stainless steel where even the slightest touch shows up?

Roadkill · « **Reply #68 on:** January 03, 2006, 06:10:26 am »

It's not great. But once it's had a 1000 Grit wet flat, followed by a 1200 wet flat, then a T-cut and polish, it should be fine.

FUBAR · « **Reply #69 on:** January 03, 2006, 06:12:04 am »

thats good then, it'd be a pain having such high maintainance that ment you couldn't touch the thing, + Bling would be a nightmare!

The rule with Satin is "You Don't Care".

He'll be trying to get a shine to it.

Incursus · « **Reply #73 on:** January 03, 2006, 04:40:04 pm »

Your boss's said anything yet?

Roadkill · « **Reply #74 on:** January 03, 2006, 04:40:37 pm »

Oh, Guess what ?

As our Labour haven't got anything to do today I've got my foreman and his two monkeys, we will call them

and

, stripping down the scaffold tower which are in the unit !!!

To say that I really wish the Duster wasn't there at the Mo' is an UNDERSTATEMENT !!!.

I've already told them that if they touch the car I'll sack them . . .

But Chavs I just don't trust . . . They don't appear to be Muscle car fans . . .

Nick, the Foreman, is a good bloke but

and

are tossers and were barred from our Xmas outting because they couldn't be trusted . . .

I'll keep my fingers crossed nothing happens.
