Paint work begins
Work started on Monday, 12th Feb ’24 for paintwork.
As it stands, the car’s old paint has been sanded off and the body is now free of any dents whatsoever.
Today was the last day I had to choose the new paint colour. After much agonising over whether I should go for black, I eventually selected silver. Black was my first choice but I decided against it for the usual reasons – it’s hard to maintain, has to be cleaned frequently to look good, and mostly because there are many chrome body trims that won’t look so good on black.
Below is the paint code I chose.
It’s nearly pointless trying to show the shade itself because it doesn’t look much like the real thing, but I’m giving it a go anyway.
Meanwhile, 28 of the 35 parts I’ve ordered from Korea are ready. It’s a test of my patience but I have no choice but to wait. I’ve been offered split shipments, but who wants to pay for a separate shipment from Korea?
