I'm sure i'm right in thinking that is the carbon quarter in primer, if so do you have to put anything on before paint I.E platic primer or does it just require a rub down.
Oh and it must be painful having to paint carbon fibre

I absolutely love projects like this, it's the sort of thing (mebbe not quite as hardcore) I'd love to get into once I've done my engineering degree. I've already drawn up plans for a couple of motors once I'm clear of debts but those will be nowhere near as awesome as this looks.

I paint carbon fibre quite often in my Job as I spray harriers. You can rub down carbon fibre, But you just have to be careful, as they say.. "its all in the prep"

Fuck me that looks amazing.
Im a regular on scoobynet and it seems the subarus have dominated the TA last season. Looking forward to seeing the ford boys get out there and rattle the jap boys.
Best of luck for the coming season and congratulations on a stunning build so far.
