Problem with paint before was scratches down the side (from a carpark) and a dental drug incident that involved her bonnet, front bumper and a trayback ute.............
Anyway here are the final coat pics

Well there you have it
Not what you expected
Me neither
At night the car is very dark with pink glitter
In the afternoon it shows golden attributes and during the day the Candy Pink Pearl takes over
For added effect and seeing she wouldnt approve of graphics on the sides I have tiger striped the bonnet to add some personality to it
But was it needed......................

How can I put this Very Very Loud and Inconspicuous. Very hard to mistake that car for another one that cut you off last week, so much character and individuality.
Nice work tho.

well after a first hand look the car looks great. it has a real sparkle in the paint. too bad the batmobile isn't up to the same standards atm, but it sounds like it'll be a screamer (read holy **** high rpm)

Well Dan the new colour is Voldemort (We do not say its name :) )
Its not quite the same colour as Amanda expected but she loves it.
The teachers at her school are jealous
and
She has suddenly become VERY popular with the students
Comments like .......
"Miss Farrely Your not cool any more, look at Miss Fords car, its awesome, and yours looks like ****!"
It still needs a cut and polish but that will happen next weekend
Will do a photoshoot for her soon to
Its very chique
Yep all done in Garage

Barbie Car!!!!!
Seriously, we name our cars so Catmobile should be called Paris now, as in Hilton LOL!
At the annual meet, we'd like to talk seriously with you about repainting Stinky.
AND I am contemplating graphics on Misato.
BUT you have to sign all your works of art by having a bat symbol on the car somewhere LOL
Have you posted pics up on the 206cc forums?
I remember seeing a pink pug on there but not as pretty as Paris ;)

That's crazy work for a home job. Puts lots of panel shops i've seen to shame. Truly amazed. How do u create a vacum chamber? Tried once with a bunch of large fans blowing away from a paint job on my trailer. Was moderatly sucesful but no where near that level of excellence! Whats your secret?!?!?!?!?!

Thanks for the comments its good to know its appreciated.
When I spray in a garage I hose down everything (ceiling, walls and floor)
I then make a mix of 5% grease/oil and thinners and spray down the walls and ceiling.
During the spray and prep process I keep the floor wet so all dust will not blow about and any sanding, cleaning, blowdown etc is done with car rolled outside
Then roll it back in for the spray.
I have a big industrial fan at one end (as far away as possible) and another fan pointing out the window (which has a filter over it)
You do get the odd bit of contamination in the paint but nothing that cant be buffed/polished out
I purchased Black Cherry Urethane Basecoat and 2 Pack Speed Clear from USA for $200USD and $380USD shipping, bought the Pink Candy Pearl for $25 AUD off ebay and the Pink Glitter for $30 off ebay also and used Wattyl Poly U 400 Antigraffiti 2 Pack for the topcoats (can safely cop any bird crap etc now with no harm to paint) Total cost for Paint is under $1000.
Spraying Stinky would be fun as the 2 Pack smells bad enough already hahaha
And thanks for the heads up Tina I didnt think to post on aussiefrog
its inspiring !
pity I don't have a closed garage.
good stuff *thumbs up*
