In this episode I will be continuing on with the interior refresh and completing the respray. Unfortunately 90% of this will be covered up with interior bits but I felt it best to make it as good as the rest of the car.
In the previous episode I removed the sound deadening, cleaned up the weld repairs from the underside and applied primer to the bare surfaces. So the first job was to seam seal the repairs and any other areas, then to key the surface to apply the 2k epoxy primer with the spray gun. I decided to go with 1k colour match paint (laguna green) as I didn't want a lacquer over the top or a super gloss finish to match the original.
Unfortunately something I did not show was my home made air dryer setup, this used silica desiccant, similar to this video here: • DIY industrial Inline ...
The 'spray booth' was a cheap 3x6m gazebo, with a sheet over the floor and a lot of masking up to totally seal the area.

I’ve done this many times over the years building cars from chassis up on my parents drive as a kid , I admire anyone who is striving for perfection with less than great facilities 🙏🏻👍🏻😉

Cool as dude. Sometimes I wish I had more space, but it’s great to have it in my back garden

Nothing wrong with a long project, we all have our own live and the car will always be there when you want to start up again! I’m about 8 years into mine, quite a few year breaks too

Might do this on my project as well, how many liters of body colour paint did this roughly take?

@BadE30 2 ай бұрын

Just over 1 litre! Luckily had 2l, no harm in left overs just incase

Doesnt the primer need sanding? Just curios, usually people sand quickly over it after applying it. Nice work otherwise, really nice, you sure roof doesnt have any bubbling around it of around sunroof? Better do it once and propely and ik you put sound deading in already put did you let it cure for like a week atleast?

@BadE30 Ай бұрын

Primer was etched before paint, no rust around the sunroof and paint cured for a week before sound deadening!
