(not vw) Flaked my roof
decked dubby - September 1st, 2006 at 12:30 AM

Have to do a wedding for a friend on saturday, so after a bit of panic and rush i painted the roof of my Buick Tuesday night.........

Originally had a vinyl roof. There were a couple of suprises underneath, but sorted that out. In primer.

Next step i painted the roof gloos black base coat.

Then went on the metalflake.

Nearly 3 Litres of clear followed.

Next week i will slice back the roof with 600, then on with the clear again. Once this is done another slice then candy, then clear again.

That crazy Damo!! love it.

A good mate of mine has got a bagged flat black '64 Riviara,
I was telling him about yours, then we realised you both have the same collection of toys....

both have bagged Riv's
both have rat look single cabs
both have Triumph bikes
And you used to have an EK panel, didn't you?

Now if you've got a bagged '40 coupe your keeping secret that would be really wierd!!

Cheers Rhettro.
