Pete sent me in the direction of your thread. He's been giving me paint advice too.

You look to be getting some really awesome results! If I can get the black on my car looking as good as the black on your roof, I will be really really happy!

How are you finding the halogen heater for heating up the work area? Do you mind me asking how much it set you back? I've got a space heater kicking about which I was going to use but I fear a small garage shaped explosion .

Look forward to seeing how it comes out in the end!

Hi, yes Petes gave me some amazing advice and I couldn't have done it without him. I had plenty heat. Cleaned the panels and work area to prevent dust, 2 water traps and 2 regulators. One on the gun and one on the compressor. Wear disposable overalls as they help stop lint from your clothes getting on the car.

As for the heater. It cost £50 and it's very handy and doesn't just warm the air. Warms the car/panels and keeps me warm. It's called a winterheater. I can get the exact name tomorrow for you.

good luck with yours

[Deathrow]

Heard loud and clear on the overalls, I've not got any yet but I'm going to before I start. Easier clean up too.

I'd appreciate the details on the heater if you could . Do you have any idea how much electricity it draws? I'm not paying the 'leccy bill see and I don't want to be having a laugh! If you know what I mean.

Cheers man! Lots of prep to do before I go near it yet mind.

Hi, here's the heater. 0.16p an hour to run. Shop about though I paid £50 inc postage on eBay off a company brand new. They have no stock left though. http://www.diyweek.n...uct.asp?id=2326

Delayed update, been busy, but it's getting there..

Drivers side is in paint!









Hopefully have the gearbox back monday to reassemble, then fit the engine to have it running by the end of the week..

Updates soon

Dan

You are doing a fantastic job on this sir.

There's no difference in the finish or colour between the side and rear panels. Great work!

[myredmini]

Thanks Mr Deathrow, no theres no colour difference, I always mix the paint alot before mixing it with thinners and theres no colour problems at all!

Happy Days!!
