Toecutter Posted March 13, 2010 Posted March 13, 2010 Nice one Dave, you really do get into it hey! Love your work, you should be making Z documentaries for Foxtel on Z resto's.

Looking forward to seeing it all that colour. Cheers, Sulio Quote

reverendzed Posted March 13, 2010 Author Posted March 13, 2010 Yep this is the current color seen on many of the XR8 Fords! XA1973 wants to know what I do for a day job....I'm a minister currently working for a Christian Charity that works with abused and neglected kids in the foster/residential care arena. Sulio, don't tempt me...I'm wondering if it's time for a 'seachange'...I've been thinking about or dreaming about doing more in the Zed department. Right now I have mine to finish, then a 240 resto for a mate in Qld, then a 260 2 seater from Vic and a 2+2 from Vic....so it makes you wonder! Rev. Quote

Brabham Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 I suspect divine intervention, it is not humanly possible to paint that quickly . And now for his next miracle... Nice work Rev are you sticking with those old skool wheels? Quote
tbscobraZ Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Awesome stuff and the that colour is the bee's well everything should of been called bumble bee yellow. Can't wait to see it finsihed. Quote
reverendzed Posted March 24, 2010 Author Posted March 24, 2010 Than ks for the encouragement guys, hope to have all paint finished by WE. Brabham the wheels are just my 'paint wheels' as soon as the car is finished painting the new shoes come out of the shed and onto the car. Those rims are actually not bad for ol' school would do up well if someone had the time! Rev. Quote
Brabham Posted March 24, 2010 Posted March 24, 2010 Just saw the boots earlier in the build thread. Looking good. Quote
reverendzed Posted March 25, 2010 Author Posted March 25, 2010 Here's the final shots of the finish (pre final sand & polish) this color was a hard one to get coverage! it took 6lt of Acrylic and 3 lt of clear all up, which equates to about 5 coats of color (wet sanded after 3) and 2 coats of clear. I'm pretty happy with the results and once again a whole lot cheaper than a paint shop! The great thing about painting yourself, if you take the time you can get an orange peel free, high gloss, repairable finish. that you can touch up anytime! I will now leave the paint until everything is finished on the interior and motor goes back in. Acrylic is best left to harden for as long as possible before it's cut and polished. Rev. Quote
