Saw this vid on Youtube a few days back. Thought the chap has done a cracking job.

Never seen a mechanism to flip a car around like that though...

For any one with a keen ear for theme music on TV shows, the background music on this vid was featured during the ending on Top Gear's pt 1 one episode tonight.

What paint system are you using...?

 

[shorty]

We use Glasurit paint and a Blow Therm over . The car was fairly clean , only some rust on the wings and blisters on the bonnet , we changed both wings and bonnet . The cars a metallic grey/black im not sure of the paint code

^ Glasurit is one of the best paint companies i've heard. Isn't this what Mercedes use at the factory as well?

Would this be the best way to go if one's considering a re-spray using a top quality paint... ?

The car in painting maybe a 199 called blue/black

 

[shorty]

We use Glasurit on all the cars , we did use PPG before but with the change to water based or compliant paint we switched t o Glasurit .
The code could be 199 , i can check tomorrow . Il take a few pics when its done .
The car is a nice example , it has a sportline interior and wheels , and some nice options like a rear blind and CC .

What Glasurit system do you know, is it the ultra hard clear coat that resists the swirls.

Do you guys colour sand before applying the clear..??
