The time has come for my 90 to finally get a bit of TLC to the bodywork. Its only 9 years overdue
so for my birthday i got some fancy coach enamel in traditional bronze green, brushes and foam rollers and some replacement front wings (thanks Mark)
quick rub down with the sander to provide a good key and a whizz over with some etch primer on any areas of exposed metal and we are good to go!
Instructions say thats all thats required for prep and to make 3 coats to get a good finish. Fairly thick coat with 5-10% white spirit mixed in to allow it to flow well, leave it 24 hours and flat it back with some wet and dry, second coat with 10-15% white spirit and leave for 24 hours and then final coat with 25% white spirit to give it a nice glossy flat top coat.
done both the new wings and the bonnet and one side of he motor and i am astonished at the finish after just ONE coat! I havent even flatted it down and done the other 2 coats yet.
heres how it started and a piccy of the 1st coat on one side and first coat on the bonnet. Not got any of the wings yet - although they have had their second coat and look well bling!
Rock sliders and bumper ad rear cross member will be getting a fresh coat of satin black, front light surrounds and grill willbe getting a spray of satin black and i am still undecided on the colour of the roof... maybe white.
more piccies to come as it progresses
