More sanding, what do you expect?







Hopefully going to be putting some green basecoat back on later today as its cooled down quite a bit and the neighbours are out If all goes well I can clear it in the week before it warms up again

This is going to look so good once it's done!

Good idea. If my hangover clears I should bung some primer on my doors.

looking at your pics again, i think you should go for a paint scheme something like this.



apologies if its already suggested in your other thread from the other week.

Have you decided on a colour scheme yet?

[akku]

green mostly

Well, today I spent finishing off sanding down, degreasing and finally putting the basecoat on. I also took the "loose" panels out into daylight, washed them off and tried to decide if they were good enough as they were or if they needed repainting too. So far I have not repainted them. Only just had enough paint though, might be enough to repaint the bonnet left. Not decided whats best on that one.

Wierd blotches in the photos are condensation or something similar on the lens of the camera.

















Its better but I'm still not happy. Theres a "transition" ina couple of places where I moved from DA to hand sanding and its left the finish slightly differing, its on the primer so nothing I can do now, and theres a few spots where grit has obviously caught in the paper without me noticing and put some marks in the primer which show through in the paint, and I might have some slightly uneven sanding in a couple of places, or it might just be how the overspray dust is lying, won't know until I tack rag & degrease it for the clear coat really.

I think it will look OK though. Probably not much more than OK, but OK.

a neighbour asked :
"what did you paint your car with mate? a stick?"

I'm sure your neighbours won't say the same !
