Spraying the New Wing

[Nodzed]

Well thought I'd bite the bullet and have a go (@Sean d don't read any further )

So rubbed down, sprayed with filler primer, and no runs

Tomorrow flat back, top coat and clear and then Sunday afternoon more flatting then a good polish.
If it turns out OK and good enough to go on Willow I'll post some more pics, if not this the last you will hear of it and I'll sent it to my mate to be done again with some degree of talent

good luck mate

Good skills mate, braver man than me.

 

[Jack Ratt]

You gotta have a go Niall. Good luck, but I'm sure you'll nail it

 

[Low Rider]

Fair play mate for havinga go.
Your Niall it

 

[Faheem]

Good luck mate, I'm interested to see how this turns out.

 

[Nodzed]

good luck mate

we will see! but nothing ventured and all that, my mate will salvage it if it goes Pete Tong, he's been spaying for decades and got all the kit and offered but I wanted to have a go

chicken.... should have tried a bonnet first

 

[Bazza]

Bloody hell Niall a brave man indeed

 

[mwpe]

Good luck Niall, I always manage to get on alright until I come to the laquer coat.

 

[zedwheels]

You will do fine, looking at your undercoat it looks like a pro job!

Ummmm NO, small steps the front wing is small enough to manage for a first attempt. anything bigger would show my true skills, mind you the wing has equal potential to do the same Plus I'm willing not stupid I cant help remembering the time I decided I could plaster my hall stairs and landing .... That didn't go well

Great work - hope all Goes well on remains coats!

One tip I would offer, as a none painter by the way, would be, when you have it flatted and ready lay it flat before applying the paint. Above all allow plenty of drying time between coats, have patience. Good luck Niall, hope it comes out good mate.

Tony.

Well I'm bloody chuffed with that result! Now I know it wont be as good as a professional job but once the clear coat is flatted back and polished I reckon it will be passable And the colour match seems quite good but will only really tell once its on the car.

Looks great. Need my sills and lower panel doing, even have the paint ready but getting cold feet.

Have a go got to do my sills front and rear next, just getting a bit of surface rust.

Very well done @Nodzed hope the colour blends well with the crest of the car - may need a polish too.
