A quick blow down with the air-line and a wipe with some thinners and we're off.....
Matt has a goI concentrated on spraying the underside as there's still a small amount of work to do on the central tunnel.
As the car is a semi-auto it has no clutch, also no provision for a clutch ie: no clutch cable conduit running inside the tunnel - BOO!
I've got to cut a small window in the top of the tunnel and weld in a metal tube for the clutch cable.
This modification can be easily spot primed when done.
It's more important to protect the whole 'pan and repaint a small piece later.
Looking good eh?
The upper part of the 'pan has received just a light dusting of primer to keep the air out and corrosion at bay.....that and I have used the entire litre of paint I bought.
Health & Safety at workNICE
The 'pan will be having two more coats of paint after the white Anti-Corrosive primer coat.Second coat will be a healthy dose of silver MIO, tougher than old boots - this is the barrier coat.
Third will be gloss black for that "finished" appearance.
The reasoning behind the different colours is simple, if the 'pan is scraped or the paint gets chipped off it will be easy to know how close to the metal the damage goes.
Start worrying if you see white!
