Valy's Zed build #Rocket Bunny >The Blackout<


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

the car dried well after the wash and after me having to get hold of a 1.8 tip for my spray gun I have done today 2 tack coats and 1 medium coat of high build primer

 

will be doing 2 wet coats of it tomorrow and later in the afternoon and on Saturday will move to colour

Good progress looking forward to seeing the end result.

thanks Lee...how is your project going?

 

Slowly mate. Only got a single garage so need the weather to be ok so i can work on the drive, hence why im very envious of your space.

Those wheels on this colour body are gonna be sensational!

haha well kind of... because this is not the final colour is just the black primer....thought about having it gloss black though at one point...might be back to it if the purple doesn't turn out the way it should...wheels also might get a different coat but I'll see how everything looks once this next task is completed Edited by valy

remembered you saying this...yeah I wouldn't touch my car for such a project if I didn't had the space available...nevermind, lets hope we get some nice days soon and you can continue with your project as well ;) Edited by valy

I'm really really impressed with your work and progress dude, :thumbs::notworthy: but I gotta ask, sorry, but I gotta....

 

Why not just remove the rear lights instead of masking them and unscrew the aerial? :shrug:

no need for taking them off,simple enough to mask the rear lights and still get the same outcome with dipping ....on the tack coats I have also insisted on the joins so should all be just fine and the aerial I left in place as I am covering the base ring

soooo....what has been going on since my last update

 

well...I wasn't happy after the base coat with some of the small finishes and decided I will keep the car only with the base dip , drive it to make sure there are no rattles etc....at least until my remap and also get a few other bits sorted

 

and I got the Torqen undertray fitted (very pleased with it!) and also I have extended and sealed my front mud guard arches

 

now did I just ordered one of these kits?

brand new Air-lift 3P combo kit for my rocket bunny Zed

 

this means the colour will have to wait a bit longer before all modifications are done :stir: hopefully the shopping stops soon :surrender:

Nice to meet you buddy, you will not be disappointed by the noise. Looking forward to seeing your power figures once the remap is complete to. Good luck with the rest of the build.
