We had two glorious days over the bank holiday weekend to paint the car outside, but we chose the third day. When it rained.
This meant we had to move the car to the body shop to prevent rain drops and leaves blowing onto the freshly applied bar coat. This move meant the emptying Marc garage of assorted useful items* and pushing the car back about 12 feet.
However once inside the top quality paint application area we began earnestly masking the car with the Daily Star and other quality publications.
Very soon the car was ready for the Bar Coat, this layer prevents the paint that is already on a car reacting with the new colour causing bubbling and cracks, so in theory this coat should prevent the top coat of gloss white from reacting with the red paint underneath.
What could possibly go wrong?
* although Marc would argue with gusto most would refer to this stuff as junk, with the exception of a compressor that is waiting for a motor.
