Perdana, Painting Part 2

Hey peeps, the car was sent in just after the Raya holidays. As soon as the car got in, the Myanmar workers under the authority of Boon Fun Auto started working on the car by stripping off all parts that's not supposed to be painted with caution. I did remind them on the minor clips and everything, being a perfectionist.

 You have Whiplash, working on the car. The entire car was already sanded down and it's already partially partched up with putty.

 Notice the rear area, carpet in the boot was also removed to paint the lower area to prevent future and further rust. The dent caused by the motorcyclist is no longer there. Welded, pulled, knocked back, and patched up.

 The guys also planned to paint the insude part of the boot lid. Now you get to see all soundproofing materials exposed.Damn!

 Sand, sand and sand. The surface preparation is very important to achieve a straight flat finish. The whole car, inclusive of the inside area was also sanded down to allow the paint to stick properly onto the surface.

 In this picture, the car went into the spray booth for it;'s first layer of undercoat to cover up all putty marks. You don't want the color of the putty to come up through the finished surface when it dries.





Undercoat done.

Here's just another picture of the car done with undercoat.

The car with all it's former dents all patched up. Very important for the painter to look and feel again.

 You can see Whiplash here masking off all black area for the car to be driven into the spray booth again for the base coat painting. I will not be explaining the process of having a proper base coat here, sorry. And I do not ahve pictures of the car done with base coat, either. Was too busy to drop by due to my hectic work schedule.

 To be continued.
