Sand coloured 101's don't really need the colour breaking up like some of the louder ones. I'd paint them to match the body.

Agreed x2, but if you do decide to go with the black, use satin black and a good primer that you've flatted down.. You will get that powder coated black finish which is more subtle. :)Quote:

While picking up the silver rust seal was a mistake (I meant to get black) it actually made it very easy to see that I had everything painted when first applied, and again when I painted the black over the rust seal.
I didn't get any pics prior to paint but the pictures following the application of rust seal:

How I had the door frame held up while painting:

Finally a picture of the frame in the dark with the first coat of black:

Over the week, I'll sikaflex on the seal channels that had to be cut off and give it another coat or two of satin black rust guard. It should be pretty impervious to rust now, especially when its treated with fishoil on reassembly.
I've sikaflexed the door seals on and given the frame the final coats of paint. Once its sat in the sun a day or two more I'll move it inside until I get the skins painted.
I predrilled some small holes and used self tappers to hold the side channel in place:

Some cheapo clamps held the lower channels in place quite easily.

I'm told he's brought back the magazine after a notable absence.
I'm still hoping to get the parts I have bought two or three years ago. I'm sure it will happen.
