yeah i try to get as much motivation i can get from the forums, others and the gf really pushes me lol. she's another car fanatic, knows what she's talking about which is awesome west melb definitely needs more hachi's!

thanks guys! i'm planning to put a set of work meisters under there but for now i've just got a set of xr4 longchamps for the time being. i've always loved the look of work meisters, so sexxy

RESPRAY SHOTS!

I chose to go an STi blue which i've always loved, it's got some depth when it's in the sun and shade. Alot of people has asked, "why didn't you go white or panda look?" .. well i chose this blue because it's different and not so common as the white for an 86.

Starting with a base coat ..









.. and then the CLEAR COAT

nice job, ya not a bad little painter. fuck i love that plastic. i remember the days of having to mask up the whole car in paper so time consuming. altho it does use up razor blades like a emo.
did you use slow reducer&hardener and paint it at the end of the day, then just let it flow out over night then backed it in the morning?

it says west melb in his location, haha if its correct how stupid do you feel.

what you on about?

[ATESIX]

lol maybe one day when we have a meet up or if you get an 86 then we'll go for a cruise

thanks man. haha i know what you mean by the paper back in those days, when i first started my apprenticeship i had to use the paper to mask the whole car as well. it's much more convenient to use the plastic i reckon and i agree with the amount of razor blades you go through

yeah i used slow reducer and medium hardener and i painted it by the end of the day when i had spare time at work. after that i baked it for 15-20min to raise up the temperature to 50-60 and let it settle over night. i actually let it settle over the weekend as well.
