MINI RESTORATION- PART 3
After getting the shell & off parts back from the powder coaters, fine tuning & leveling out of all panels is carried out. Once happy this is done & panel gaps are good, all seams polyurethane sealed & the underbody, arches and engine bay are protected with Raptor bedliner. Once cured, Cadburys purple based coat π & 2k cleared applied for a super durable finish.
Mask out floor pan & epoxy prime the shell & off panels. This was sanded back, remasked & high build primed, ready for basecoat & clear. Then onto the engine bay and inner cockpit for colour. Next, this is masked out & moving onto the exterior shell for basecoat & clear. Last is the roof in brilliant white, together with painted bonnet racing stripes to match... she's looking pretty!
