Not any more it won't be:rolleyes:

Just spent a couple of hours with brush and rollers. Not fun, and not very even.

Tomorrow evening, I will be hanging plastic sheets everywhere and spraying it:D

I've got a compressor, so might as well use the thing. I did much prefer the look of sprayed paint on the refurbed parts, as opposed to the odd couple I did with the brush.

Still undecided on the colour though, although after speaking with SWMBO, I am definitely leaning towards silver, it should contrast nicely with the black body, and if I do the stripe in a nice metallic silver.

A couple of bits of red here and there (harnesses, calipers, gear and handbrake gaiters etc.) and a colour scheme is forming in my head:D

I think I know where the inspiration for that one 'might' have come from, and it does look a good paint scheme

Especially on this

Went to my local car club on thurs and there was a guys car on display that was matt black with a red chassis,looked really good,the only other part that was red was the rocker cover on the nissan sr20 motor.

Silver :D

I've just put on the first colour coat and I really like it.

Couple more coats then it's time to start creating bodywork :cool:
