Galliano Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 i think its Renault's Liquid Yellow Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 It is indeed Renault Liquid Yellow. Its actually called Jaune Sirius Nacre (Sunlight Yellow Pearl) so I don't know where the name liquid yellow came from!! Liquid Yellow is the shitty pale yellow that some Minis come in, but yeh, the Renault colour!180bhp thanks mate. Sparky, alllllll the old Fiat yellow is coming off. I've got half off with about 40 320 grit sanding discs! Really takes ages getting it all off but it'll be peace of mind to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 The car was taken down to the booth yesterday where I finished prepping it and primed the shell.Today I got the ground coat on and started smoothing the holes for the wing repeaters on the new wings I have acquired, along with the lock hole on the tailgate (wiper is staying put this time!).I have also rolled the arches and erm... thats all I can think of for now.Pics:On the way down to the booth:Most of the paint ready and masked up:Rolled the arches, not a very good pic though:Primed:Groundcoat: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Keep the faith bud Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted August 7, 2008 Author Share Posted August 7, 2008 Faith is trailing off if I'm honest, I've really had the urge to make a breaking for spares thread today and yesterday but I know I'd be in two minds about it.The car wouldn't start since last Friday for no apparent reason, it felt as if it wasn't getting fuel even though I just put a full canister in it. Tried it yesterday and it worked, no more misfiring or anything of the sort. All was good, until I tried to start it whilst in gear. Bang in to a gate at the unit I'm using to paint the car. Yes it was my fault, I just looked over at the shifter and it looks as it was in neutral, but its not as easy as that considering I have just fitted the short shifter and I can't reallt recognise where neutral is just like that. I should have checked by moving the shifter, but oh well.That meant a wrote off headlight and slightly crumpled slam panel = fucking bugger. Bad things always happen to this car and it is whats making me lose faith in the bitch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
