OK we didn't do much over the weekend we undercoated the side strips on the drivers side, but we got slack and didn't strip the drivers door strip of all its paint and the crappy paint underneath resulted in crows feet which I have to rub back before next weekend.

Other than that we re-organised his shed and all tools and equipment cleaned both spray guns (the crappy iundercoat one and the $600 dollar sweety) and did a big cleanup in preparation for finally laying down the colour.

Preparing the car extensively is pointless if the painting environment is full of dirt and dust etc.

DAY 653:

(LOL feels like it)

The nosecone and bar have been painted finally, due to my lazyness/busyness this has taken quite some time. I still have a problem with one of my bumper moulds not fitting correctly coz its bloody cheap taiwanese crap. We haven't fitted it to the car yet but it will be dry tomorrow and we'll fit it then.

Things that still need to be painted are:
*grill
*drivers door strip
*bumper moulds.

These will be done over the easter long weekend hopefully.

LOL He is a very very very good painter. He used to spraypaint exotics like porsches, ferarri's mercs and bimmers. The shop he worked at painted a ferrari for a bloke and it cost him around $20,000 and when he picked up the car he started it up and did fishies down the street, all who worked on the car cringed because they are made out of aluminium and the paint would start to crack straight away LOL some people have too much money.
