Walker96 Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 So we gunna see colour like you said?;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rich-k Posted August 16, 2015 Author Share Posted August 16, 2015 Well its been a looooong ass day!! i have just come home from work now and have been flat out on my beast all day! and I'm literally exhausted! I have got so much done with the car though and its so mad that this whole past year of prep is done! The only snag i bumped into was i put my first coat of base on my bumpers to find they had both been damaged again so i will paint those tomorrow with my spoiler however i have painted everything else! the only real down side is that for some reason the shell and bonnet got covered in dirt nibs yet nothing else really which really pissed me off but nothing a flat and polish cant sort out!So i suppose i better reveal the colour, what I have gone for is porsche amethyst purple now the reason i chose this colour is because its really dark almost like nissan midnight purple and in the sun it sparkles something beautiful now i know some of you may go yawwwn another purple one but i love and frankly i havnt really seen one in a purple like this, Now the built up pics of the car the workshop lights are really ORANGE and its distorted the colour making it seem more bronze and the car is dusty and dull in the pics, but i have tried to get pics to show you the colour the best i can anyway ill just upload them shall iBut the images really dont do the car justice, espically the workshop ones as its all dusty and the light has changed the colour completely i cant wait ti polish it clean it and get it outside for some real pics all the interiors back in and all the rubber seals roof lining clips, door scrapers etc etc are on i have done loads tonight but im too tired to type lol hope you all like it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rich-k Posted August 16, 2015 Author Share Posted August 16, 2015 Thanks guys i cant wait too show it off properly its nearly all built up now im going into work shortly todays jobs are too Repair and paint my bumpers that got damaged again! Paint my spoilerAnd start flatting it all for polishing, other wise its all built up it needs the boot wiring up properly and the spoiler cant go in untill the boot glass has been fitted really, but other wise it will be ready to go!
