Paint your Wagon

My PI estate has finally made it to the paint shop after an extended restoration of its bodywork which was precipitated by rear end damage after a wheel hub breaking en-route to my wedding in 2004!! Final prime and flat applied on Monday 25th and now three top coats and two clear coats in two pack this afternoon followed by an overnight bake. I inspected the booth and final undercoat before the first top coat and hopefully months of careful preparation will pay off in a trouble free respray.
Colour is Cadet Blue - a 1960/70's Ford colour that is so close to Wedgewood Blue it is indistinguishable. Reassembly will begin next week with a host of NOS parts and rechromed bumpers. I also have some 7*15 black spoked minilites.

Next real issue is a complete retrim - probably in biscuit/tan leather and a rebuild of the Britax sunroof.
Masked up and primer applied and flatted - about to be blue

Inside car and under bonnet already painted

Stone chip on rear wings

Sealer in front seams

Sealer in rear lights

Sills made by folding steel section locally

First coat of cadet blue - will have two more coats and then 2 coats of gloss clear coat with high UV resisitivity


Excellent panel fit
