The red was nice, but I'm not a spray
painter... and it showed. The Mini deserved
better. It just had to have a better paint
job. So JT is a good friend who also knows
how to spray a car, and he likes two pack,
and he likes clear, (and I like shiny
black) and he wanted to help make the
Mini look like it should. JT put a lot
more hours into the body. I thought it
was good enough, it just needed to be
shiny, but it wasn't quite good enough
for JT, so he spray puttied and sanded,
and sanded and spray puttied, and sanded
and sanded, and then painted. Clear is
still to come, but this is what is looked
like today after the first black, straight
off the gun :)
Theres a couple of runs, as the light
in the shed wasnt too flash, but they'll
be rubbed out before the clear. The guards
are also painted, will look damn nice
when its all back together.. stay tuned
for the final pics!
oh and why black? Im over red, and black
goes with everything :)
Just
wait till we get the shiny black guards
back on it! :)
A
BIG thankyou to JT for a fantastic paint
job, I'll post more pics of the finished
car soon (after I wash, polish and take
it down to the river for some specky shots
:)
If anyone in the Bunbury area needs
a paintjob, consider JT. He's not
a professional spraypainter and points out
that it will be a pretty much backyard job,
but compare it to professional spraypainting
shops and JT does a great job at a reasonable
price. Don't contact JT if you need a car
painted in a hurry, he prefers you leave
him alone, no pressure, no deadlines, that
way he can take his time and do it how he
feels it should be done, without cutting
corners. You'll need to pay for the materials
up-front, but Email
JT for more info
