Errols FJ40 Build Thread

[feistl]

Here is everything painted up. Note: We were having some issues with the needle in the paint gun sticking which was causing it to drip, so on some of the panels you can see drops of paint in the middle. Now this isn’t a big deal as we have to sand/roughen up the primer for the top coat to stick to so it will take care of these drips. Still annoying, as obviously went to a lot of effort only to be let down by a minor issue with the gun.



















Once everything had dried overnight, we wiped down the outside of each panel and gave it a coat of primer.







You can clearly see the drip marks in this pic. Again they’ll get sanded back, mostly what I am focused on is getting a nice thick layer of paint to bond with the surface which its done nicely.









Pretty impressive result for the front bib considering how it started out as.





So thats where we are up to as of 09-06-2016.

Next stage (hopefully this long weekend) we can paint the top coat of Upol Raptor on...

Cheers,

Wow, great thread. Appreciate the dedication taking photos and updating the thread! Haven't seen a good build thread like this for ages!

PS I hate when you run out of space inside the house for car parts...
