just gotta put it all back 2gether now,,,

[beechymonza]

Yeah its monza blue 
Paint code is LD5Y,

[logeyboy]

doesnt look monza blue to me, must be the light. i had a monza blue which looked more blue/green.
do you have a paint code for this paint? i really like it original or not.

I thought this too, isn't this Monza Blue?

[beechymonza]

Must be the light or cause its new paint,
I bet it goes lighter after a few years in the sun 

[beechymonza]

This was the original paint,,,

[vw_golf_nutter]

yeah thats the monza blue my car was logeyboy.

this one looks too baby blue without the hint of green that mine or the example logeyboy put up had....

oh well, its a mystery! still really like the colour though.

[X4MGS]

think the quote for my paint came in at £700 materials

thats for,

rags,
posh rags
cheep thinnners
posh thinners
pannel wipe
white paint inside
blue paint outside
stone chip
laquer
hardneres
sandpapers
DA pads
cutting compounds
poliher sponge things
oh and filler
+ oads of bits cant rember

Was making a list as you posted Danny

For something like Nicks car done in decent 2k products, I use Topcoat on my race car builds, including doing the graphics in paint

5 ltrs of Topcoat colour,
2.5 ltrs of Fast Hardner for the topcoat
2x 0.5ltrs of 2 different colours for graphics
3 ltrs of Primer/Surfacer
1 Ltr of Hardener for Primer/Surfacer
2 Ltrs of Etch/Wash Primer
2 Ltrs of Activator for Etch/Wash Primer
5 Ltrs of Best thinner
2 Lts of Gun Wash
2 Rolls of 2 inch masking tape
2 Rols of 1 inch masking tape
1 roll of 3M fine line masking tape for masking graphics
1 Tube of PU based Seam Sealer
1 Ltr of Stone Chip Underseal

Allow for...
Body filler
At least 20 Gringing Disc's
20 Sanding belts
100 40grt DA sanding disc's
50 80grt DA Disc's
50 Dry sanding Disc's (320s typically)
10 Sheets of Wet/Dry
MIG welding Gas and Wire
Miscellaneous Shot blasting
0.5 Ltr Polishing Compound
Various Polishes and Waxes
2 Polishing Mop heads
Masking paper
Plastic sheeting
Polishing cloth

And there are plenty more incidentals that should be factored in, but the customer wouldn't get directly charged for...

Lighting
Heating
Insurance

And then the dreaded Labour has to factored in...

Lets say 2 men, 3 weeks work, and they both want paying £500 a week each, which is fair, as its very hard graft!

And not even mentioned VAT

Eye opener isn't it!

Thom

Might depend on which lorry some of the items fell off....

Cheers for that Thom. I guess being Celly reduces the physical paint costs for mine. As for filler, I bought and did all that myself, same with stone chip in rattle cans, the welding I've paid for a bit at a time as it's been done.

I guess mine will come in around £1200 in total after I total up all the bits I bought and did myself.

Looks really good

Are you going the cellulose route based on price Nick? even the very cheap 2K top coats are very good these days, and very durable against stone chipping that you would associate with Track days etc

Thom

[Horney]

Nothing to do with price, Marcus doesn't have the kit to do 2K, all his work is celly. To be honest I'm not fussed about stone chips etc as it's a race car. It's going to get binned in gravel, rubbed on armco etc.
