Respray colour change

[A2_rory]

Hi all,

As promised I said I would start a thread about the respray,

The roof was my first victim, it had been painted by what looks like a 3 year old with a machine gun.

It was horrendous!

I have prepped, primed repaired bad previous repair and painted black,

I have got 3 mixing schemes in house so took the brightest black and dropped a few grams of blue in and my god it looks awesome!

It's currently gun finish, I used my devilbiss git Pro lite clear coat gun with the super flat air cap, the one that's advised not to use to match factory finish and you will see why

I'm going to do the whole top of the car this black with daytona grey lower half, I might play with the grey a bit i.e change some pearls but haven't thought that far ahead yet.

Anyway enough rambling, here's some pics...

And finally painted

Looks like a great job and looking forward to seeing the finished effect. Would you like me to add these images to your first post and enlarge them?

Yes please

Stunning job Squire, hats off to you. I can't wait to see the 'finished' project.

Having not long had a full respray myself, I can appreciate quality of this finish considering it's straight from the gun.

Like the idea of the colour scheme.

Is it a TDI or a petrol?

Having not long had a full respray myself, ...........

I didn't know that you were the type to have a fake tan?

That looks amazing! I'd like to see the effect compared to the rest of the body work.
