Well I had a good productive weekend, picked the car up from the painter on Saturday morning, all painted in primer.



Then when I got it home I masked up for the main stripes, I did these as per the ERA website info.






I forgot to get some pics when masked up for the pin stripe (but it looked the same).
Here it is all unmasked and striped up, before refitting anything else.



As you can see, the pin stripe in the oil cooler in my opinion looks too "busy" I sould have just painted the edge black and been done with it, but did not see it until all was unmasked. Oh well atleast this isnt the finished product so I will know when it comes time for real paint.

This next pic is pretty close to the actual color, and I have refitted most parts (everything except wheels, roll bar and side pipes)


Here it is with the roll bar and pipes fitted (sorry about the poor light and the dust on camera lens).


Just need to refit the fuel tank after making a boot latch bracket and she will be ready for the Nationals (only 26 more sleeps before I start my drive over from Alice Springs).
