Primer and Paint

Unfortunately yesterday Perth had a scorcher, so with the night low being a warm 30 degrees Sunday was written off for priming the chassis. Luckily though Monday was a clear, cool 24 degrees at the hottest point, this allowed for a morning full of priming and painting. Managed to put the first two coats of primer, and two coats of my acrylic paint on all the panels. I still need to put on a finish with the top coat and about four or five coats of clear on top and two on the sides.

Here is what I have so far:





For a first attempt, it will still need a little work, I myself spent my afternoon in Bunnings buying Wet and Dry to fix up my first attempt. I was amazed at how well top coat shows up all imperfections.







These are the hub caps that I have been planing to use on the car, just seeing what they look like. I think it looks neat, though will have to check when completed.
