ok,

this mornings little updates:

went into the booth this morning and painted the roof semi gloss black, i had chosen black magic to be different, but once dry i really didnt like it so decided on full gloss, and giving a good mirror like buff lol

todays work will see me prepping and painting:

the bonnet, all doors, front bumper and handlges etc, and hopefully getting the final bits into primer,

here are some more pics

looks nice mate, allbeit quite a bit similar to that other famous LCR with white paint, black wheels, black roof and yellow calipers though...

I was thinking project stormtrooper might have been a matte white without any yellow :(

Sorry I didn't mean to sound negative there, she looks lovely mate, bet you're chuffed.

Keep the updates coming I'm loving the vids!

its not having yellow calipers haha, its having white calipers. the yellow was when i refurbed it originally about pg2.

its very hard to make white cars different, the matt roof simply didn't suit but i may have another look into that.

Jake,

Out of interest what are you going to do with the side indicators and aerial as you have flled in the holes?

I must say this is looking very good. With regards the roof I reckon a gloss black finish would be better than matt black. Just to tie in with the shiny frozen white finish etc....

I see on the gallery pages you have Rickc's car before he did it in white. Does he work there as well or did you guys just do the original purple?

How the hell did you mask the engine bay :/ must of took a while, QUOTE]

was just thinking the same mine will be getting a full paint job soon as i work as a panel beater and want it done in another colour but not so keen on taking the motor out to do it as mine is red if i had a black car to start i wouldnt bother,
