Refurbishment of my Maserati Mexico

[ace01]

Definitely got to be the A32. Much closer to the original.

Well after checking out the original Maserati paint chips on the Car Nut site, it's going to be 106-A-32

Now to crack the whip with the buggers at the paint shop

Looks like a great choice. Looking forward to the finished article.

The car has finally moved to the spray-boot for some proper coats of primer. First costs are to be followed by some more coats later before flatting back on Monday:-





Plan is to have the top-coats of 106-A-32 blue applied next week so the car can come home for Easter

Between this and Chad Speed's Ghibli we'll soon have an embarrassment of riches Maserati-wise. I'm really looking forward to it.

More pics as soon as possible please!

Here are some first little teasers of the colour. The door-shuts and inner edges are now painted and the car's going back into the booth once the panels have been loosly placed. we looked at painting the panels off the car but decided that the doors in particular are so heavy that we'd rather not risk any knocks later. I'm very pleased with the colour, it looks very 'period' and will certainly set-off the chrome and tan leather.

The Mexico is one of my favourite cars - yours is absolutely wonderful.

Thanks, next pictures will after the body has been fully painted, it'll then start to really show off its understated lines. I just can't wait to see it home in my garage....

I look forward to seeing them. The Mexico is such an elegant car, especially in this colour.

It's nice to see your work in progress. I restart mine recently but I have to check the engine/carbs before taking the road. 20 years off...

This is going to be utterly wonderful.

A real dream car.

Painted and being wet sanded for final polishing.... Loving the final colour which is a shade darker than the original, but it'll set off the chrome beautifully.

[The Surveyor]
