Couldn't resist stopping off at the spray shop today to grab another update. He has finished prepping all the GRP panels, with just the doors and a few bits on the car to go. He said there was some kind of reaction when he tested out the solvent based metallic blue paint. He reckons it was down to one of the primers I used. Either way, he has recommended water based paint, to elliminate the problem. Although, the price has gone up
That said, he showed me the paint. Metallic blue with a 75g of pearl in there. It looks great in the pot, hopefully even better when on the car. He says I can pick her up Friday at 5pm. Considering what's left to do, I can't see how it'll be ready. I have already told him I can pick it up next week, and not to rush. But he insists it'll be ready on Friday.
