Fact lad...What kinda heat and extraction do you use?

Delighted your goin red too, was a shame IMO that you ever strayed from red with the original shell...

[k1984w]

ive 4 infra red heaters there mounted on the wall s and and intake on the roof and to extraction s on the back wall cant remember any spec of fans or heaters i had it worked out when it was built but thats a few years ago now it can get to 40-45C if i remember correct, does the job perfect just wash the whole thing down everytime i spray and have constant water running along the floor to keep dust down

ye i always loved the red was lookin through some old pictures of it thats what convinced me to go back to the red

then i started spraying the red put down 8-9 coats of red


1st or 2nd coat on in this picture


then put down 5 coats of laquer








came in then on saterday mornin and started wet sanding the car with 1200 wet and 3 hours later and my arm about to fall off it looked like this



then put down some fresh masking just incase of any dust stuck in the old stuff, im only re laquering the outside no point doing in the door jams i blended it out at the bottom of the quarter panel to



well another 5-6 coats of laquer and it looked like this ,its only on its 4th coat in the first picture there





going over now to wet sand it again and buff it up

also started on my wheels going to polish up the face of them


heres one of the centre caps i done you can see the difference here beside one thats not polished. had to start off sanding it with 180 grit to remove the laquer then went through the grade 320,600,800,1200,1500,2000 and the machine polished it.
