paint job completed

I finally got the chance to go see my Mini with the finished paint job, the only unfortunate part is I missed it in the Sun and only got to see it in the workshop.

But even looking at in in the "dark", she really looks good. The white roof and stripes are a Pearl White which compliments the "metallic" red really nicely.

The pictures still don't do the paint job any justice, and hopefully I'll have some pictures of her in the sun, which should show off the metallic.

its a colourful day... red!

My beautiful Mini. A deep metallic red, the photos are just not doing any justice. The paint job is absolutely amazing! I am so thrilled with the colour and after all those times pondering, I can honestly say, this is the colour she was meant to be.

It's a real amazing feeling seeing her like this. After nearly 4 years. We have almost reached a major milestone, just need to do the white roof and the white stripes. The reality for me has hit, I have something special, something unique, something that's mine.

It's time to put her back together.

the last coat of primer

One more visit before she is painted. She has now been sanded down and ready to enter the paint booth. Only a couple of days to go until she is the right colour.

first coat of primer

Once the panel beating was complete, the first coat of primer went on, and then the sanding started. With just a little over a week to go until I'll find out if my colour choice is still the right red. I'm not changing my mind.
