i see red..i see red..i see red!!

yes finally did the deed and got the paint on...what a job, 7 coats later and we have an alfa gtv reborn..not to many problems , couple of runs and abit of orange peel[to be expected]. really happy with the out come, picked a low temp day and it rained the day before so there was minimal air borne dust..detailed out the boot  and underbody coated the wheel arches tonight also wet sanded corner of the boot tonight with 1500 and polished up beautiful..will give it a week or so to cure before hittting with wet sand..
                                just some pics for you guys..thanks for watching..











i took my wheels down to my local tyre guy mat and he removed all the tyres then drop them of at the soda blaster to remove all the crusty paint, just to hard to sand by hand..pick them up on friday and painting on the weekend. new tyres waiting!
