Then got the slam panel in primer, also stripped the power steering coolor whilst I was at it
Considering I used the water base gun by mistakeThe finish looks brilliant Sean.
I may well do as he only lives a few miles away, it was his wifes car, wonder if sh'ell want it backAny plans to take it to show it's former owner that you've bought it back to life @Sean d
I will be painting the slam panel Austin yellow but as for the rest, it has been done neutral as has the underside and under the wheel arches so if I decide to change the colour in the future it will be a lot easier![]()
Its only a just in case pal and will be a number of yearsBloody hell @Sean d, you haven't even put it back together and you're talking about a colour change. It's not fair.
You can't put us all through that again. You kept us waiting long enough for this one.![]()
It is quite painful mate but I will be removing as many ancillaries as I can, yes I will be using a mini gun and put it on squirt rather then fan for the more awkward areas,Just how hard is it to paint under the bonnet/engine bay Sean? Do you have to use a very small spray gun? Masking must be a pain too.

Actually I do need a recommendation on what to use as a general engine cleaner as I want to give it a thorough clean before I paint itI should've sent you a can of "Scrubbing Bubbles" mate. By the way those wheel bolts should land very soon Sean.
Tony.
I use Autoglym machine cleaner mate, seems to work well. Squirt and scrub then hose down with a very low pressure trickle, pat the worst out then a liberal spray of Autoglym Vinyl spray, all over, leave for a couple of hours then buff up.Actually I do need a recommendation on what to use as a general engine cleaner as I want to give it a thorough clean before I paint it
Absolutely not, they will be gloss blackSean, are you going to paint the door handles Austin yellow ?
