[Savi]

Looks good still, but the cup colour would have looked even better

 

[The Boosh!]

:approve: Monaco is still a lovely colour. And at least its still a Renault colour!

 

[chrispy.clio]

Ohhhhhhh Bless ya. That sounded like such a mint idea. Its a real shame it was wrong. However i love the colour you have done and it looks great.

I look forward to seeing it as a track day soon

 

[f0xy]

Cheers for some positive comments, made me feel slightly better about it!

Daz, I'll still be quicker even in non-cup form

 

[theduck]

Oh dear...

Still looks good though. Have you told anyone at renault about the wrong info on the site?

 

[Whiteley]

I haven't just yet nope, I might drop Jeremy a quick email and point it out.

 

[Dave..]

Brilliant anti climax!

Well done on getting it all done though, I know I couldn't

 

[saltyhair81]

I can't imagine the feeling when you realised! Looks more like rover tahiti blue, still a cracking colour

[AdamAnderton]

Excuse me and wots wrong with naples, chris the colour looks better than black lol :rasp:

 

[Melissa]

Popped round tonight, looks mean in the flesh, even being the wrong colour can't fault it that it'll look mega when it's back together.

 

[TimR26]

Excellent choice of colour, looking forward to seeing you zooming past on track!

 

[wilky19]

Excuse me and wots wrong with naples

theres nothing wrong with naples

 

[nathanH]

Pictures dont really do that justice tbh.

I would also like to add, seeing as chris has never sprayed before he was pretty damn good from the off! And spraying a cage is hard work!

Awsome Williams 3 rep

 

[Whiteley]

Well well well, it's done!

I had today booked off work to get the rest of the outside prepped and painted, so after waking up at 12 I made a start. Popped out for a while to pick up some halogen work lights from machine mart, they helped no end when painting and pretty cheap too.

Pushed inside, jacked up and put on stands to make it easier to get at the sills. Then masked the inside off:

And then, as if by magic:

Couldnt resist peeling a bit of masking paper off! (Inside dirty from sanding the outside)

 

[Curtis!]

Went adventurious on the colour! I like it.

 

[jamie rigby]

that it then now all painting done? apart form doors, bootlid and bonnet i mean

 

[Whiteley]

Shells finished yep, going to get the car running and ready to go and then do the panels before oulton if I have time, if not they can be done after.

 

[The Boosh!]

:approve:

 

[maynard]

nice work, wish i had the room to store the car and all my stuff like you have!

 

[Whiteley]

My couple of new lights, helped out no end when painting

Outside and started putting a few bits back on

Mega pleased with how this is going to look, similar to Mk2 dash strips that people fart about painting, but slightly more solid

 

[Bluebeard]

NICE!!!!

How much flatting and polishing you got to do do you think? I'd leave it a good couple of weeks before you mess with it mind! Will be soft as fook!

I think I actually prefer it in that colour! Looks a lot less try hard if you get me.

 

[Whiteley]

There are a few areas which could do with a bit of wet sanding, then it ideally all needs cutting back afterwards. Not something I can do by hand so I'm hoping to get a hand from someone with a machine polisher. Going to leave it for a bit yet though as you say

I prefer the colour to 449 now if I'm honest, much brighter and more modern, got a bit of something to it rather than just being boring old dark blue, if that makes sense!
