and the winner is..

yes i know alfa red......how boring but sooo nice with this car.



well all the final primer has been sanded with 600 and 800 wet, very happy with the results..just put it out of the way for the moment to give me some room for the doors and bonnet.



bonnet and boot in high build primer ready for blocking.

both weren't to bad until you hit them with the long block.

ground down the inside of the doors and threw some expoy primer on them, also repaired the large cracks in this doors lower hinge.

after knocking back three coats of high build primer it came good..

the boot is now in primer but needed some attention on the outer lip.
 



alfa red here we come..

houston we have primer..

Well guys after some long nights in the cave we have pushed it to primer stage. i am so tired at the moment but am really satisfied with the results. three to four coats went on today with out to much trouble, just didn't fuss over everything this time just layed it out..left it out in the sun all day to bake hard. just did a test section with 400, 600 and a little bit of 800 wet sandpaper and was really happy with the finish. 

looking forward to the next few nights of sanding just love this part of the job, its really neat seeing it come together after so many hours of cutting and grinding.

once the body is sorted i will wrap up it up in plastic and move on to the doors and hood, so maybe you will see some color in a month or so, fingers crossed..
