I used to do painting years ago with cellulose, you didn't need much heat to dry it. None in the warmer weather.

Good old celly, been a lot of years since that was on the go, I cut my teeth on acrylic, I can't abide water base, so bloody poncy , has to be sprayed in a booth at 24 degrees, the base coat is more of a dye, just like ink really, so the final prep has to be very fine, we do a lot of brand new cars and the colours are only available from our water based mixing scheme, if I could I would go back to acrylic
I can't even make a decent job of spraying my antiperspirant under my arm pits ! 
Does that mean you smell?I can't even make a decent job of spraying my antiperspirant under my arm pits !
Cheeky !.....that's why i had to get an open top carDoes that mean you smell?
Hi and welcome. Interesting read . Looks as if sills need checking mine were a bit rusty and another here had a patch put in so a weak point hiding behind the cover and the plastic jacking points.
Brian, there is a small gap between the outer sill and the chassis, this allows dirt to build up and it gets trapped around the plastic jacking points, it acts like a sponge and holds water
Here's the original pic of the Z shortly after purchase, we have a long journey ahead, but its all original with no mods
How long have you had the Z Sean, it's just that it reminds me of one I saw when out for a Sunday lunch with three of the guys off this forum a few weeks ago. It was near Gainsborough though. It had the same tags above the side gilles.

Very vigilant Tony, I assume you meant when we were out with you?
No Dave, it was when Ant, Andy, Roy and me went to the Rose and Crown at Upton, we passed it when we all went for the run. We met a couple there with that car, nice pair from Yorks.
Tony.
Coincidence Tony?
Maybe, I think they were from Barnsley.

@Antm72 , @Andy McDonnell and @Rha does this look like the Z we saw at the Rose and Crown that Sunday with that couple from Yorks.? I recognise those stickers above the side gills.
Tony.
Very much so Tony, sure is was a "V" reg too?
Must be hell of a coincidence if it's not the same car.

Tony.
I think it too much of a coincidence guys, the guy I bought the car from lives in Barnsley and his partner lives in Gainsborough, what a small world we live in,
Must be the one Sean. Amazing, we saw your car before you did.

So you did Tony, had a couple of hours in the workshop today, finished the prep of the os sill and stone guarded it, that is now ready for painting as is the os front wing, stripped the grills and gills off the bonnet and did a bit more work on it, thats about it for today, still in turmoil over the colour but nailed it down to 2 options, swatch a or swatch b
Yep....
