OK as promised here are the pics of finishing prep and painting the RX3.

this is the old girl in the corner of the shop masked up and waiting to have the final coats of white primer.

[steve garbutt]

Then it was on with the primer and a nice guide coat ready for us to spend a full day almost just cutting the car back to a perfect surface for the colour.

[steve garbutt]

This is after a day of cutting the white primer back to accept the base coat and remasked up.

[steve garbutt]

Tried to capture the perfect finish we achieved with the finish coat of primer in this pic

[steve garbutt]

these next pictures show the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 5th layers of base coat applied.

[steve garbutt]

these are the 1st and 6th coats of clear to make the old girl shine
