Trevors car has finally had all its fillerwork / gapping etc done.
The photo doesn't show it well but its all done.
I took the car over to Bodycare in Wimborne to get the paint done.
pics below of car on trailer just round the corner and then looking like a pedal car in the Bodycare doorway !!
Car will be primed tomorrow and flatted out Friday....I will try and get over there for a primer pic... |

Just uploaded a whole load of pictures of the Sammio in the bodyshop *just* before it went for priming here
I'm starting to get very excited about how it will look!

Still collecting it on Saturday Trevor?
It is going to look great - are you taking it to Exeter?

it's going to look superb matey! Watching the progress on yours certainly shows up the differences between a professional job to my Heath Robinson paint job.
i "may" be ready for Exeter, you?

There was a slight delay, so it will now be ready on Tuesday.
Sadly I don't think I'm going to make Exeter, but I won't be too far behind.

Popped into Bodycare this afternoon and the car has just had its 2 pack polyester primer sanded flat. Pictures and more info here
The finish is as smooth as glass, a credit to everyone involved. |

Looks fab, proper shiny straight from the gun. I take it the 2k paint doesn't need flatting and polishing like acrylic?  |

That'll be why the pro's use it.
Small matter of all the isocyanate fumes for diy'ers, though, as you need expensive air fed breathing apparatus to safely spray it. 
Earlier this year I had to read up on the Office for National Statistics UK causes of death by category for a work project (don't ask  ) and in 2010 more than 70 people died in Britain through accidentally inhaling toxic paint fumes
Think I'll stick to good ol' cellulose. |

The car is back, but sadly the screen on my laptop has died (posting this from my phone), so I won't be able to post any photos till the weekend.
It looks absolutely stunning though.
Trevor.
