woww ,very impressive finish you got there
few questions if i may ;

have you taken out the front and rear windscreens
out for painting to avoid paint line on the rubbers ?

looking at the pics on your blog,i understand
you have not done any wet sanding between coats ??
was the brightside paint able to lay down that good ??
if i am right ,how much of thinners did you
use to thin down the paint ??

Thanks everyone for the comments.

I better answer these to clear things up.

I didn't take out the windscreen or rear window, instead I used a thick cord and placed it around underneith the window rubber, therefore when I painted, the paint was able to ge underneith the rubber.

I did wetsand between ever single coat, I didn't put any pics up of this as I felt they were pretty boring shots.

Brightside was great paint to work with, I still have almost a litre of paint left (used 3 litres on my car) so I have plenty to do any touch ups.

Here is my paint mixture I used:
375-400ml paint
100ml penetrol
75ml mineral spirits (mineral turps here in Australia)

Cheers all

i like the cord trick ,i will deffo use it

i think i will move onto bright side myself as well even though my test piece is not looking bad with a small can of rustoleum i used so far .


i have been reading about the penetrol stuff through out these threads .
can you tell me if it makes the paint self level
better and reduce orange peel ??

also could you tell me how you prepped the body
before rolling the first coat ??
what grit papers did you use ,wet or dry etc ??

i would be well happy if my car looked like
yours in the end
