Looks really good buddy, you can clearly see your dedication and thoroughness throughout your restoration. Looks amazing and nice colour. Well done champ!👌😃
8:54 you can drop some superglue in those fish eyes, then cut them down with a nib tool and sand/buff out. Great job, I do the same type of work at home :)
Good job. Lots of shine and depth for a home paint job. Great tip about cleaning/dusting/wetting the carport concrete too, nothing worse than blowing up a huge dust ball and having it stick to the paint.
amazing work mate looks sooooooo good!!!! I would paint up the original interceptors with some nice new tyres, and then if you change your mind later down the track, can always just keep them in the shed!
Looks awesome for a job at home. Looking at all the prep work, painting etc, I can see why it is not cheap to paint the car at the beaters. Chuck Interceptors 100%
Hey mate, depends what the set up is but VE SSV rims if you can get the same stud pattern look unreal, awesome job on the build looking forward to next vid 🤙
If you can track down a set of original VL Calais wheels and polish them up to a mirror finish, they look absolutely mint! My old Kimberly Bronze Berlina looked just average on painted interceptors. Polished Calais wheels completely changed the look of it and being a period correct 16" (I think) they just look right.
@@georgeauto once upon a time people might have looked down their noses and said "but it's not a Calais!". But at nearly 40 years old I reckon it's just a tasteful OEM+ addition. Plus there was a time when all the Calais were running ceptors because BT-1s were in fashion so it's only right for an SL to go up-market in return 😜
how much would u advise for just paint/primer filler etc and materials such as plastic sheets, sand paper, gun wash etc (not hardware like compressors and paintgun) to do a job like this?
Hi great job mate I have a bt1 same colour or cardinal red which is very similar, also did it in the garage, paint came out great and was very happy with the finish, however the spray putty even after fine tuned sanding started to expand and contract after a few weeks with different weather changes, I was told I should of used the enamel putty with the acrylic paint to stop this happening, hope this small info helps future home painters in the future.
I do have one yes , I made sure I cleaned it out before and also drained all The air and refilled just before , had a professional look at it he reckons silicon reaction some how
@@georgeauto yeah mate. Going well. Still needs a little work but she's going well! I need to post a reveal and update but timing and waiting for shit as usual
@@hobo1704 well tbh what good is adhesion and all that if the end result looks garbage and needs to be refinished. But genuinely, they are both factors to an end result. There’s many factors to consider with each job that comes through. Im sure you agree.. I’m involved in auto refinishing as a career, same as you.
Walkinshaw rims.. original ones would be hard and expensive to get, I've seen knock offs available, they used to be real common but now you'd hardly see a VL with Walkinshaw rims.
