Jessopia74 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Might need to be careful with that red, you will need to make sure you use some isolator before white coat or it could bleed through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a very good point! I remember a friend of mine worked Saturdays at a local body shop to make some extra cash. They had the contract to repair all of the Police cars in our locality. He told me stories of writing (well spraying) some other (animal related) words for Police in Red prior to the White going on. (According to him) it would take a year or two to bleed through, but it did and they were not happy. Strangely, he didn’t work there for very long after that.... Great work, as always Wayne - your definitely winning now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1200bandit Posted August 5, 2019 Author Share Posted August 5, 2019 Think it will ok as l am going to remove most of it with wet dry paper only put on the seal the bonnet l am going to leave it until Friday then fattened the most of the paint off should have done this at the start, It didn’t help getting in wrong colour paint in the first place If it bleeds though will remove all the paint from the bonnet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1200bandit Posted August 7, 2019 Author Share Posted August 7, 2019 That’s the roof done, looking ok, Had a go at the bonnet though l had it done, lots of dry coats , tried a wet coat ,all went tits up , so remove some of the paint Was getting a bit thick there, Back to the beginning The front panel in primer I think this car hates me Project images are available to Club Members Only, Click to become an OMOC Member.
