A sunny day, a driveway and a good set of tools, and anything is possible !
Oh, and Sea Sick Steve playing in the background !!
Like many people, I have paid for a professional to spray paint my cars in the past, you are almost always guaranteed a perfect outcome. I have not always wanted the 100% perfect paint job on my cars and do not mind the odd imperfection, after all, these cars are not intended for a customer, but my own pleasure.
In my occupation as boat painter (hand brushing enamel paints) I decided to carry out my own paint job on the fibreglass bodywork, I had a 3mx4m gazeebo, this came in handy as it was just about the right size for the car. Over 4 days of painting (prepping between coats) I am very pleased with the results. I have had work carried out by a paint sprayer workshop that has cost me over 5k, so me spending around £150 on 2l of enamel paint, thinners, 2x paint brushes and mixing kettle pots, and my time invested over a good week of weather was well worth it, I will now buff and polish the paintwork to remove any slight brush marks. If you have any views on the work I have carried out, I would love to hear from you.
I took this silver, rather boring looking Porsche on the left and turned it into this stunning looking yellow Porsche on the right!
Circa 1959 1500 mk1 MGA
My first real attempt at a total restoration, a very tired looking car with a great deal of welding turned from ugly duckling to stunning 1800 special
Circa 1963 Austin Healey Sprite mk2, again a complete strip repair and rebuild with Sebring Sprite body kit, uprated and lowered suspension with 1275cc unit and weber carburettor
Circa 1976 1500 mk4 Spitfire.
Rear arches, boot and bonnet welding, prep and re spray, polish, and TLC brought this car back up to great looking condition for the summer
New for 2018/19
