Mate cant wait to see it all back together and out in the sunlight

is that acrylic or 2pac?

also what mixture and thinner do you use?

And how do you get those damn doors off? cheers

On a tight budget so i have gone with acrylic . 1 part paint . 1 1/2 parts thinners . I used a pin puller from work . it's just like a slide hammer with a thread on the end of it with a tube threaded the same size as the pins . took 5 minutes to get the doors off !

Damn I need to get me one of those post it over to me lol

I managed to pick up 4.5 litres of aurora gold 2pac for $70 I know its not the standard colour but we can only do what we can afford hey

So I need to get some info on 2pac mixture and my father has a face mask aswell

do you know any info on what thinners to use with 2pac and the mixture aswell will be of great help!!!

You'll need to get 2pac thinners . Do you have hardener as well ? you can get a slow medium or fast hardener . Most of the time you mix the paint and thinners 50/50 . but that seems to change from brand to brand . should have the directions on the tin you got .

Another update . I have the shell finished with the paint and have done a couple of panels . Things are going nicely at the moment . with only a couple of small hick ups . I have the passenger door finished with the interior back on .I'll have the back door on the same side finished tomorrow fingers crossed ........
