Ready for paint

Here’s where to discuss anything specific about your standard(ish) car or something that applies to the model in general.

Well done John!![:D]

A grand color for a TR7. I could not even discern any runs in the paint. I am a tad envious of your progress as my car sits outside the paint booth waiting for another coat of primer. [:)]

It was a little dull when I took these pictures, but as it dries it seems to be flowing and getting better. I have never used urethane, so maybe that is normal. It is far shinier today, but now my garage door broke so I cant get it out in the sun to look at it better. Once we can get the door open again, I am going to look at it and polish it as needed. Then we start to put it back together.

We sprayed it in the garage. The paint is a urethane, not sure what brand. I bought a paint kit at a car show. It had homemade type labels on it.

I was wondering if it was Trinity 1945, out of New Jersey. I know they have a urethane system. I bought some about 3 years ago and never used. Still sealed.

Where are you from?
