The car went into the paint booth, with all major tinkering and painting.
Every corner where there was rust or any sad surface was treated.
Dupont surfacer was used on the car, as i was very particular(Inspite the workshop insisted ici dulux)
The paint job was mind blowing as per my standards, did not want to do any alterations to my 1997-M-800. i wanted it to be in stock conditions and to the original color. This was achieved and the shade was correct upto atleast 85% near to the original.
This is the out come.
I did a few alterations on the fuel cap and the dicky door.
I removed the locks on them, used the levers from inside(Zen Unit)
Just to add convenience this alteration was done.
Side Looks.
This process included 1) 2 coats of Dupont metallic onion blue paint
2) 2 coats of Dupont slow dry clear
Total dry time with all heaters around was 18 hrs.
"My workshop guy went mad on the electricity bills"
But had to achieve perfection.
My hair stood straight for 2 days inspite of 2 shampoo's daily on my hair.
I was there in the booth for the entire process.
Will add some more pics next.
