More work completed tonight - the white which is the main block colour on this PF is the first to get restored. Ive actually done this twice - i wasnt happy with the first application so off it came and i started again. Now remember , this is a restore - not taking back to factory issue as the bank A ball PF is. because of this, im matching OFF colours. Whites etc will have all yellowed over the years and so this yellowed white is what needs to be replicated.
Basically, the whole PF is covered with clear vinyl and the template cut by hand - takes some time and its inportant to cut just inside any lines to prevent a massive amount of work later replacing all the black lines.
Once template is cut, it can be airbrushed
drying time depends on the mix of thinner to paint - I use a mix of turps and thinners to thin. Once its tacky the template can be removed
hey presto!!! Template is removed and NO bleed!
I didnt completely repaint all the white - ive left a lot of the old in place still and so colour match is imperative..
on this pic the two colours meet
cant see it?? Take a closer look
If you look on the right hand side on the 2nd line up there is a straight edge here between the two different paints - a very slight misregistration can be seen also - all this will be buffed out.
Ok - so white is now done - Blue will be next.
heres an overall pic
More soon!!!!!
