Aluminium Paint Finish

[Mando]

I was looking through a few galleries as you do and came across a couple of pictures in Tenroccas gallery that had been posted recently. I wish I knew how to get the pics across to this Thread but you really should see the finish he has achieved on his bonnet. Amazing work!!

Regards.

You're right Mando,

I was round at Tenrocca's place a couple of weeks ago for some advice on my build and he was trialling this paintwork around that time.
I was particularly impressed with the sheetmetal work in aluminium he has done on the firewall and inside the boot complete with stripes and rondel polished into the aluminium. I have to admire his patience, the pics on his gallery don't really do some of his work justice.

Regards, Dennis

Oh man, do you realise how big his head is going to get?

And here is a pic for you Mando.

how bout this cobra

[Tenrocca]

Boxxy - it may get large but it will never be shaped....well....like a box.

Dennis - i dissagree completely in that any pics in the gallery are almost certainly the best I took, and have been photoshopped to within a inch of their lives to look half decent. You mustnt have looked too closley when you were over - aluminium dust in the eyes perhaps

Mando - something Ive been tinkering with. First attempt (which Strida saw) was a complete failure, but after getting a bit of advice the bonnet came up OK. Will keep going now - was about to give up and just get it properly painted (which I still may do if I cant get a consistent finish).

And it is real aluminium...sorta

LOL - you mean "feret spot teker" (and that was the missus)

At least I dont have to spray the garden with roundup to find my cobra.
