Finally, after 22 years of ownership the car went into the spray booth today.
Some shots taken between coats. Another couple of topcoats tomorrow, some clear over base and then the re-assembly begins. I couldn't stop staring at it...it was like staring through the maternity ward glass at the new baby. Attached image(s) |

sunflower yellow or some non stock colour.. The factory colour was "hell gelb"(?) and for some reason, when using the paint code to get the colour it couldn't be mixed/found here. I'm not sure why but I had the same issue in 1990 when I gave it a hit in acrylic. So when it came time to choose this time around I picked a yellow that was close and went with that. I don't know the name of the new colour, although it is much more saturated than the original and borders on fluoro. The photos are a bit over exposed, so the colour is actually more intense when standing next to the car. It's hard to beleive it's gone from looking like junk to a million bucks. I am so happy I kept this car. Attached thumbnail(s) Attached image(s) |
