just a question about the etch primer, i always thought that should be applied to the bear metal etc so it bonds with the surface?

Im in no way a painter btw just curious lol

I've just caught up on your thread Nath. Oh my god am I jealous I absolutely love this car and can't wait to see it once it's all put back together again!

Are you bringing it to Japfest?

From the horse's mouth bud ...

etch primer is for bare metal, but i use it for a basic covering as it really sticks to old paint well. when i have a brand new panel that comes in the black protection paint, 100% when i sand it down there will be exposed bare metal. the same applies to repaired bodywork. even though a panel may have bodyfiller and high build primer, there will sometimes be exposed bare metal, so it makes sense to etch prime the whole vehicle prior to painting. this also allows any darker spots, like on your bonnet to be 'toned down' so when i apply your paint it's not going to appear through your new paint.

Yes definitely, although I'm not sure if I want to now as my paint will look jobby next to yours

Is @Honda-Hardy bringing his too?? We can have a little 80's Honda line-up

[NafemanNathan]

I'm pretty sure he'll be appearing in his new Type-S Although if his missus is coming she might bring the 3rd

Will do Sam, although everyone has paid so there are no spares at the moment.

Perhaps put up a wanted thread to let people know you are after one should they drop out?

Looking good still bud. Although, clearly not reading each update as the colour looks black. I thought you were keeping with the original blue colour?
