Range Rover Classic Restoration

[helimadken]

Hi Everyone, Got all the major body panels painted in blue, time consuming process as its 7 applications of paint with flash time in between. With the recent hot weather I swapped to slow thinners in the last coat of basecoat which takes longer to flash off.

All four doors -

Deck Panel -

Lower Tailgate -

Huge bonnet took just over a 1ltr of clear -

Rear quarters -

These are all safely stored away, as well as three bedrooms I taken over the porch now with the bonnet

Next up are some smaller parts in blue the I can start black parts

Thanks Mick, as Hitchhiker42 said it will all need cutting and polishing to remove the slight haziness you can see, be really shiny then

I wont do this until all the panels are on the car though, dont know what it is but I always manage to scratch stuff during fitting no matter how careful I am.

Yep - I know how you feel. I've managed to scratch my paintwork in a couple of places. I'm waiting until everything is reassembled before I repair any damage and cut & polish. Hope your fitting goes smoothly.
