Thread: Rebuilding a 109 1958 Ute

I am very impressed Ian You have done a great job there mate

Only problem tho - you have made me want to pull my finger out and do a better job on Shorty. Between you and Justin (last Saturday) I feel that I am not doing the little car justice.

She is going to look fantastic when you have finished her

when you have finished her

The way he is going I would like to see it at Blinman next April.......

But we have a wedding to attend in March - and the wedding car are series ones.....

All the best

So what sort of paint are you using - the old style air dried enamel?

Looks good.

Oh and what is the name of the colour?

Hi All
The Paint is Enamel with a Urethane Enamel Additive
The Paint is Protec Acrylic Enamel
colour is Leyland Slate (Storm) Grey
They told me 4 ltrs would do the car
5 ltrs later and have not done the Doors or tub etc.
Have used more wet and dry than ever
Acrylic is the easy way, this is a learning curve.
it has kept me out of the pub for weeks.
It can bring every bug and dust bit for 100 kms.
cheers
Ian
