yet more work that dosnt fail to impress

 

Spent quite a bit of time on the bumper with the sander today, getting all the little imperfections out ready for primer ,also got the filler applied .
Starting to get it prepped.

Few random shots



Stonechips etc all feathered out.

Bumper now degreased ready for filler (applied some last week so remainder to do )

First skim.

Few spot repairs.



Quick pic of the filler applied last week (still to rub down)

Next stage is to get the filler all rubbed down and a coat of plasticiser on the bare plastic, and then its ready for high build primer.

 

Fanny-tastic!

 

top quality work as usual on this motor

 

 

Excellent work... I wish I had an eye for bodywork

Managed to get the bumper into primer today ,lots of piccys of what we did .
Bumper degreased .


Plasticiser going on .



While that was drying i mixed up the primer.

Starting to get the first coat on.







Not trying to cover it all on the first coat ,just a light one to begin with .
Here goes the second coat .





Giving it ample time in between coats to flash off ,it was given about 4 heavy coats in the end .
Last coat applied .



Let this flash off while i cleaned up the gun etc and then added a guide coat .









Will let it harden off for a while ,then wet flat and ready for colour .

 

Thanks for all the comments

Will look rude painted up!

 

nothing short of the usual high standard by the looks of things! any ideas what your going to do next! apart from paint the bumper obviously???

 

Now you are just showing off!

Nice work chap(s) coming along well. Look forward to seeing it painted, but have a good holiday if I don't speak to you before

 

The work is nothing short of amazing Real inspiration to get mine done on the Fez.

 

Nice work yo've done there m8!!!

 

top job there mate

 

good work matey
sounding silly but what exactly is a guide coat??

 

Looking good Dave


Brian

 

 

Excellent dave and stu!!!!!

 

Its a light coat of spray (pref black) that goes on the primer, as you wet flat the primer when all the black is gone, you know you have got rid of the impefections,hence the term "guide coat"

 

your guide coat if for when you wet flatten the bumper, any high or low spots wil show as the guide will either flatten away very quickly in the case of high spots, or will not rub out easly if its low

 

Top work as ever Dave

Quick question thou? Are you no blanking the towing eye off again

 

 

Dave your work always looks spot on mate

Jim

hey, ive just spent most of the aternoon looking at this project from page 1 till what it is today which is 45 & im amazed at your work, i really think that your doing a top job on it. the Body work, im in love with, im a sprayer & panel beater myself & i think you have done a cracking job spraying it mate, i couldnt of done it better myself, i really am chuffed to bits by this project, im looking forward to seeing this at a few shows this summer. I also think Rosso Red is the best colour that it could be. Credit to you mate. keep it up, would love to chat to ya more about it as it has put the biggest smile on face ive ever had.
