Always a nice stage when you get the paint on for the first time, now you've just got all that rubbing down to look forward to!

Re: A40 Farina Countryman restoration
i use Farecla G3 liquid (with damp mop head) & compounding head courtesy of their rep as test samplesvino wrote:Nick, what do you use to cut it back with ?? I have used Farecla but you need to keep the mop damp or it cuts too much off. Looking forward to seeing some more photos too.A40FARINAGURU wrote:i've taken the easy option by using a electric mop! & it is coming up a treat

Re: A40 Farina Countryman restoration
You can still get 2 pack around here in solvent based solid colours, strictly for classic car use only you understand....
Not that I ever do any painting.....
I recently had a Wolseley 16/60 pedal car repainted in Trafalgar Blue, 2 pack. Looks better than new....

Re: A40 Farina Countryman restoration
Presumably the same reason you avoided the water based as it needs a 2 pack lacquer to seal it and give it a shine.
