57kombi, Inside and Top Painted
Well Ive started, it is Glasurit 2pac, I have done the bumpers, wheels, inside of cargo doors, engine lid and the cab.
For those interested it is pearl grey, this is the colour name, it has no pearl effect.
I will have to wait for a day or so and then I will paint the top , this will be white.
I will try and load some pics of it so far.
Cheers
Dave

For the newbies, I am taking the piss, the one with the roof off is one I found in the riverland that had been used as a shooting wagon.
No parts worth taking from it and has been left to rot as you couldnt do anything with it,.
Tomorrow the roof

I'm free on monday night after 7.30, if you want a hand with sanding or anything, give me a call.
Most people seem normal, till you get to know them.

Last one for the day.
Monday the bottom gets painted, then on Wednesday I will just finish it off by spraying the window frames and the top of the rear hatch and I will
also paint the ribbed section on the bumpers white.
Will post some more pics when its finished,
Hopefully on Wednesday.
Cheers
Dave

Thats the time limit.
I want it to be ready for the show in November, I wont be entering it, just driving it there will be enough for me.
I did this split as a driver not a show pony.

I was quoted 8.5k for a reasonable paint job.
The compressor cost $600.
The Arnold gravity gun cost $150.
The paint I got at a bargain $15 per litre, this was for Glasurit 2pac at S.A. Paint Supplies, they had bought a job lot of various colours from a
wholesaler and it was lucky that the colour I wanted was in it.
The differance in painting it yourself is that you care about the final result, if you dont like the outcome you do it again.
I have only painted a couple of trucks and 1 beetle in the U.K. and so I am not a painter by any means but the result has suprised me, it has a lot to
do with the prep and using good products.
Will do some more this week, thats another good thing about doing it yourself, you can take your time.
Should be finished by the weekend and I will post some more pics,
thanks for the positive comments.
Cheers
Dave
