Painting under process continues..

This is how it looks now. The rubbing polish is yet to be done.

It will look better than this after the final polish work.

oh it seems to be another one. In that case why are you going for a similar paintjob, you could experiment with a military version with this one. just a suggestion

That Gypsy is my friends and it has a mat finish double color paint job. Mine is Accent viva red color

Nice! You are using Dupont paint then why rubbing and polish? I thought clear coat was the standard process for Duponts?

@Krishna,
The gypsy looks very nice. I am really curious to see the end product with those wheels and Geolanders.
The black tinted windows on your GYpsy will look awesome with red color. Here in Punjab its almost impossible to get your windows tinted.

As far as I know that Morris Minor is there since 90-100days without any sort of work going on. This tinker is very slow in his work. Just now I blasted him over phone. It’s already 4 days the paint job got over and he is yet to start to bumper fitting, top fitting, electrical work and other small small work. My gypsy is there in his garage since 90 days. March 18th I gave him my gypsy.
