Good start, and I like the idea of the "coloured" primer. Was advised to do the same ... did not ... And am now redoing my spray job as a result. We all learn! But great job so far.

This bug turned out to be quite a hand full. But its almost done now.
The roof did get primer on the final coat. It was nice and smooth so i left it for last. Cheers Ferdi.

Not to be vain or anything, but this car is turning out absolutely awesome.
Not so hasty Neil, first the clear, then the no. 53.
