Re: Mozart - The Colorado Car
Thanks Chaps, its certainly a great car to get the opportunity to work on.
First coats of lacquer applied next
But because this will still leave a visible edge around the roundel (due to the height difference of the two colours) the lacquer is flatted back.
The shell is now re lacquered with the panels removed to allow us to seamlessly paint the shuts.
The edge of the roundel on the door that couldn’t be reached with the door fitted is painted white and the doors lacquered
And the remaining parts painted
In another nod to the car’s previous history the lower section of the front bumper is painted Scarab Blue.
The whole car is then flatted once more with 1500, 2000, 3000.

Re: Mozart - The Colorado Car
The owner may put numbers on in Vinyl, so they can be removed if desired, painting them on would mean the whole car would need to be resprayed if he changed his mind!!210bhp wrote:All clever stuff. Your work is tremendous Jon. I love the painted roundel idea.

I suspect he will leave it without numbers though.
Re: Mozart - The Colorado Car
Superb and love the addition of blue. My favourite resto thread for some time, what a fabulous project.
The force is strong in this one ......

This car ticks just about every box for me and the work looks absolutely stunning. Hopefully it will make it over here at some point so we can lust over it properly!

Re: Mozart - The Colorado Car
And finally the flatted paint is polished back up using progressively finer compounds.
And the panels hung again for safe keeping whilst the paint fully hardens.
And if the customer wants a change then we also painted the flat lid.
In amongst other ongoing projects.
On display in pride of place.
