It's about time the 'antiqued' look made the jump from furniture to cars!

Aquamax Basecoat and HP492 2K Clear

[RUSSELLM]

Is this the car you changed from Purple Illusion to White, last year ?

Yeah ! The White was just a quick re-spray to cover up some damage done by a Blind person who couldn't quite manage to find the keyhole as he walked by. It looked st to be honest, this is a proper one now that I have some half decent premises..

Romany Cauliflower. Treat same as normal cauliflower, similar taste. It's nice.

It's actually "broccolo romano", so more a broccoli than a cauliflower - but I reckon I might be nit picking really.

Spectraflare stonechips...cool

Like the colour, should go well with the wheels.

It's getting there - slowly! Just applied the Basecoat, now for the laquer.

[madmatt1985]

[G20RG B]

Impressive, keep up the good work,

[Columbo]

Make sure you Laquer it quickly otherwise the base will seal itself!!! and it will lift!,

nice job though!

Hi Ed, well that's the long term plan, yes. Hows life, and hows the car?

My thoughts on respraying a Cerb are that a colour change is a hell of a lot of work!! It's surprising just how much work there is because of all the dismantling involved. I'm tempted to take a photo of a the car and all the bits if I can find an area big enough .

So for anyone contemplating a 'cheap' colour change respray, here's a list of the body Parts to remove: to give you an idea of whats involved....

Bonnet, Bonnet catches, Boot, Boot hinges, boot catch, boot release badge, 2 x Headlight Cowling, 2 x Headlight lenses, 2 x rear light lens, 6 x Rear light clusters, both Doors, Inner door mouldings, Inner Door trims, rear and front screen rubbers, Door shut rubbers, upper Door rubbers, 4 x door catches, wing mirrors, Front Engine cover, Rear Engine cover, Bottom Windscreen Moulding, Wiper Motor, Battery, Header Tank and Bracket, 2 x Front Indicators, number plates - have I missed anything?? And of course...then you have to put it all back together .
