Re: My '72 911T
Is that a solid or base/clear? Most painters will generally go the base/clear route unless otherwise instructed.Obviously originally would have been solid.I wonder what formulation of paint Porsche used in 1960s? Not actually sure when 2k paint hit the market.

Re: My '72 911T
It’s base/clear. Yes it was originally solid, but hey there’s not much left on the car that’s original so I may as well use modern paint methods!

Re: My '72 911T
Was 2 pac the original 'knacker-lacquer'?
Paint it over anything and it shines??
I'm convinced now my 911's original green was not Viper, it's calmer than yours Gary.
Fab colour, cannot remember a DDK car ever being done in viper.

I can’t take any credit for the paint part, and I’m beginning to realise the reality that every part I now fit to the shell is likely to make the end product worse!

Remember to put a small scratch in the paintwork once you get it back - it gets the pain over and done with quicker
Well done and look forward to seeing the reassembly.

Renew all the brightwork and the rest will be fine imho.

Re: My '72 911T
Brightware order will be going in soon. Just paid the second (of three) paint invoices so need to give the man maths bank a short recovery period!
I’ve got £3k left to finish the car, major spends being front and rear screens, seals, brightware, carpet and tyres.
