    sorry for the late update i'v been mad busy catching up on work that built up while doing this

    right we left off last time with the car in the matt black base coat, i was really liking the matt look but i couldn't bring myself to do it so i cracked on, here she is all fresh and still tacky, the bright light in the oven really brings out the colour







    we called it a night and let the shell dry over night and came in the next morning and gave it a blast in the oven just to make sure it cured all the way, i then did the doors and bumpers, when these where done Eric showed up to get the parts on while i finished up with all the nick nack bit's like door handels and stuff like that, all together it took 3 stints in the oven to get done and a total of 5-6 hours painting time inc baking so im well pleased with that

    few pics of her just about built back up to be driven to Erics plase to start the final steps






    so now we are in the final steps to getting her all done so 1st off was a full wet sand with 1500 grit paper to get any small bits of dust that may have got stuck in the paint, i have to say that the oven we prob one of the cleanest ones i'v used and i counted prob 20 or so bit's of dust in the whole car but i still gve the whole thing a full sand down....sure why not lol

    in this pic you can see the right hand side is the side rubbed down and the left is still shiney



    also the boot here as well




    and heres me polishing the boot



    several hours later it was all done and thank god my back we killing me





    with all that done the wheels kinda let the look of the new paint down so i matt blacked them untill i can get a new set, i think they turned out well for a 5 euro job



    well thats it on the project for now, i shall eave you with a few pics i took, im getting more pics done this week from a good friend of mine so i will post them up but for now thanks for you great comments throughout this hard transformation it made it all worth while
