Jessopia74 Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I think these types of colours really do suit the Manta shape and lines. Black alloys I wonder 🤔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black alloys I wonder 🤔 No not going down the black alloy route. To me it just makes the alloys look permanently dirty lol, but that's just my opinion. You also can't make out the alloys properly in black. I bought some but they are to wide. Well wrong offset 😐 I was going to paint these a mid grey Project images are available to Club Members Only, Click to become an OMOC Member.

1200bandit Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 The paint is looking very deep and shiny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANDY ABBOTT Posted February 22, 2020 Author Share Posted February 22, 2020 All masked up and ready to be hit with paint in the morning. All glass etc.. Is removed only masked up to prevent any dust being blown out of the car. We have had to paint it with the doors on, as I can't use my door pin removal tool with the side skirts on and they are now bonded 😂 Had to make a booth in my booth, as my booth is a commercial one for painting trucks and trailers. It's 60ft long 18 wide and 20ft high, and with it being for trucks and trailers it's gets quite a lot of dust in there, and is hard to keep clean so hopefully this will do. 😊 Project images are available to Club Members Only, Click to become an OMOC Member.

Need to figure out what way I'm going to go about the rear seat area, as it's got a cage fitted and no rear seat. Not sure if the panel and carpet, or ally sheet it.
