Colouring my ride

Okay, the door shuts across the back and the front cowl has copped some colour. The pearlescent paint looks amazing!

When you see the without direct sunlight, the colour looks like a strong dark red.

Not the hot rod red that it used to be painted in, but in Rover Red, a juicy scarlet.

A high gloss coat or two over the top really sets it off!



Here's the way the gold fleck appears when the sun hits the car then hits your eye.

Man, I can't wait to see the whole thing covered in the glossy coat.


There is still a bit of work to go on the fiddly bits, around the lights etc.

The bonnet has received a lot of attention and is looking outstanding, even in primer.

Look at the way the scoop works into the lid, doesn't it look great? The bonnet is like the visual entrance to the look of the car and so has to be perfect.

I have a set of bonnet pin latches with billet aluminium bases that will set this off nicely.
