 4.gif. Me too Dave, and it will all match.  No more red and silver with black on maroon. Like seriously. 
I am the GR8KORNHOLIO! Are you threatening me?

Great job Dan.  Looks super!   Can't wait to see further progress on this baby.

Barely any color sanding to do.  Hit it with some 3000 grit was about it.  The bonnet is to keep splatter out of the engine bay.

That is going to look really sweet when all done.

Might try and run the harness and get the headliner in tomorrow while the doors, bonnet, and boot are prepping.  Buffing is complete.

Wow, Mark....are you ready to get your car back home and start building it back up?   4.gif

Por-15.  Note to self, wear long sleeves and a hair covering next time.

This is why I have several garage sweatshirts and ballcaps. Can be worn for really messy work and tossed if needed when done.

Coming along nicely.

Por-15 gloss chassis paint.  Tough stuff.

Ok headliner done.

I think that turned out better than any you've done so far!   (headliner, I mean)  4.gif

Tough indeed. In my experience if you get Por-15 on your skin, it has to wear off as you grow new layers of skin beneath the paint.

Old wives tale, it comes right off with lacquer thinner...ask me how I know!  77.gif

I'll try a thinner bath tomorrow then. 

Got the rubber all on and will get the glass in tomorrow.  Have to lower the shell back on a dolly once this por15 dries so I can wheel it out of the booth and knock out the rest of the items that need painted. 

MiniDave

Well., I don't know about how well it comes off after it's dried overnight!    8.gif

But if you wipe it off with thinner shortly after it went on, I know it comes right off then.....

 Once POR-15 dries, not sure it will come off too easily. So far even brush I've used has hardened up overnight and I've tossed them afterwards.

Any reason the fiesta yellow wasn't left on bottom of floor pan?  Just asking since I'm sanding and coating surface rust on my floor in prep to coat with POR-15. I used the grey color inside the car and have some chassis black for the subframes.

Thanks,

The floors were mostly solid but a bit rough and we decided to coat them for rust protection since carpet is covering them anyways.

Look at that pretty paint on the home page. Course teased Dan that's what crashed the site.  The moke picture reminds me of short circuit 2 after he's been all beat up with one eye hanging out.  Sorry, can't find a pic.

It's been a sanding extravaganza.  On the home stretch.

Got a box of MED goodies coming. It's FedEx so be curious to see shipping time compared to DHL.

Got the back side of the doors almost ready for paint.  Sanding my fingers to nubs.

Joys of the mini.  You see both sides of almost every panel.
