We have progress!!!
Undercoat is complete. 4 coats all up. I’ve reapplied the stone guard to the doors & guards but still have to do the sills.
Those headlight assemblies looked shithouse in matt black so will be done in the primary colour. Hopefully we’ll see colour next week.

Lokiel, if you’re reading this, I’ve finished banging your dollies & will return them poste haste.

What I meant to say, was I’ve finished with your body repair kit, but it came out all wrong.

Today I’ve hit a few minor blemishes with spray putty.

Tomorrow, the plan is to get colour & clear onto engine bay, cabin interior, boot cavity, inside of doors, bonnet & bootlid, pop up mechanisms etc etc. Then next week I’ll temporarily loose fit all panels & spray the colour & clear to the external. That way I know the metallic will all stand up the same way on the finished product.

Well, I’m knackered. After an early setback, I still achieved today’s target. I’m too tired to talk about it so here’s some pics. I absolutely love my colour choice.

Yeah I’m getting there. As they say, “it’s all in the prep”. Hence my setback this morning.
