First paint on the panels

And the shell rubbed down ready for paint.

Image

And masked up all around

Image

Image

Edges first to ensure good coverage

Then final rub down.

Image

And a clean after polishing and unmasking

Not normally a 356 fan Jon but have to say that looks fab, especially the colour and signature touches! Top work.

Thanks Peter, don't see you on here so often these days. Hope the hospital visit isn't serious.
Cheers

Fantastic restoration, love the handmade panels, this separates the true restorers from crash repair guys who just buy everything.
Well done mate
Cheers

Just WOW.
Fantastic work guys and very inspirational for my build, after reading this thread I now have a better understanding of the quality of work I should be expecting for my 356.

Are you guys taking on any work? :bounce:
