Simo5555 Posted January 25 Author Posted January 25 Did a bit of wetsanding And some painting And started doing the interior 5
Simo5555 Posted February 2 Author Posted February 2 Decided to redo the interior. The custom mix wasnt as good as i wouldve liked. Was just too yellow. I wanted it to be a bit more like a lamborghini cream leather. So i did another mix 😁 First, i did some more sanding - there was still some flashing left from before. After that, i dipped everything into the DOT4 oil Then i resanded and sprayed everything with white primer And i resprayed it 😁 Then it was time for bodywork. I found a small dent on the rear deck. So i used some putty and sanded it smooth Then reprimed it with white primer And then it was time for some painting 😁 Dont worry, it wont stay this yellow for long 4

Simo5555 Posted 20 hours ago Author Posted 20 hours ago Had some major airbrush issues this week. My airbush started sputtering ever so slightly - didnt noticed it at first, but felt like something was wrong when i did my second coat of paint. It left a really rough surface on the paint. Took it apart, deep cleaned everything, but was still the same. Eventually found out that a bit of paint had leaked into the air valve compartment. So after another deep cleaning session, everything was fine again... But not without some damage You can see it on the engine Decided to leave it as is - it'll get covered later anyway. Unfortunately, i had to redo the bodywork. So the body got stripped and another sanding-priming session. This time, everything went smooth as butter. Then did some tape work on the interior And some painting And this is how it turned out 2
