Have the rear bumper done but I've been fooked with the flu lately, and I've met a girl :lol: so she is taking up some of my time :shock: :D
The flake on this paint is pretty awesome as the sunlight hits it.

Well so I had to pull the head of the h22 to inspect an overheating issue, got the head pressure tested and skimmed, just waiting on an OEM head gasket so I can put it all back together,
Almost finished spraying now :)

There was a good sized debt on this rear quarter and it had taken me a lot! Of man hours to recreate the rear arch agsin with filler.
Image

The devilbiss just came before I started to spray, perfect timing and I must say the difference is night and day compared to what I was using lol.

Basecoat on

And lacquered.

Few other bits

So that's both sides done now, and the rear, all I've left to do (in the future) is the bonnet and front bumper :)
You wouldn't even no the lower rear quarters where welded, very happy :)
