The last few weeks have been spent on the body. My fingerprints are slowly coming back after countless hours blocking back my crappy painting skills.
The final finish might look good in the photo's, but it's actually pretty poor!!! The topcoat is so bloody hard to get on, I ended up with more runs than Don Bradman....
I think I'll call it a distance paintjob...... it looks great from a distance!
I used a black 2K high-build primer with a 2K direct gloss high opacity black topcoat.
Total cost was only $525, this was for all materials needed for the job.
I'm man enough to admit that I SUCK as a spray painter, but I still had fun and learnt lots along the way...... At least now when I take it to a pro I have saved a bucket of money on the prep work and primer!
Here are the photo's I took along the way.
Before.
I shot some paint onto the seams to get them as smooth as I could.
Black primer, (it looked horn like this too, I had contemplated leaving it this way).
The finished product, warts and all.....
