Thread: Project 'Bob' (formerly Bobette)

Fun day yesterday, first coat of paint on one wing, it has now had subsequent coats but the only picture I have so far is of the first so enjoy and I will get more tomorrow!




I am reliably told that if you squint real hard it's almost identical to bronze green

I actually have to admit that I am really liking the finished colour though it may look a little out of place on the Landy. Oh well I won't ever lose her in a car park

great work going on, will keep an eye on this thread for more pics

cheers

As I'm about to turn 60 I remember the cool cars of the early 70's with this colour. The Charger the Torana XU1 and the HO so be proud you'll be in great company . It's great

i was recommended this colour by a workmate who is into classic cars, when i said i was looking for a nice metallic purple his first reaction was "Ford GT... Wild Violet" and then feverishly went searching for the paint code. i have to give him credit for his suggestion, its very nice.

In some cultures, Burnt Orange and Mission Brown are considered sacred...

So after a mild clear coat failure and a lot of sanding back and swearing, I finally managed to get the driver side wing painted, clear coated and slapped 2 coats on the bulkhead and radiator panel. Feeling happy that I am getting somewhere visually at least and once the paint is done I can install the lights and finish the electrics... One job at a time though!
