Custom Paint With Varnish

The chamber....

Was around at Alex again early this morning to make a final decision or two before the final coats of varnish are put on.







Soon....
Soon!

Custom Paint Coming Along

Alex, the man...





Next is a none metallic black on the lower half of the blue line - which will be a silver piping of about 1mm thickness, followed by a coat or two of clear varnish - finished off with a coat of ceramic varnish for hardness.

Some day soon!

Muster Paint For Thunderbird

It all depends on the light and the angle - sexy satin, candy red.



Then we spoke about the piping.
Too thick...
Too thin...
Old School...



It's still a long way off, but its getting there.

An Appointment With Alex

It was time to talk with Alex Harder, the spray-man over at the Autolackiererei,  Tössriederen/Eglisau.
Goal was to talk about the design and colours of my custom paint from my Thunderbird.

The first to mask where the colours will be... Get an idea of the shapes.





Next the rear fender...






Somehow this was too thin. So a second, wider area was masked off.




Better!

Next, the colours from 'The House of Kolor':
Candy Red!



First a base colour: Red-Red Marble

 


Then the Candy Red Intensifier will go on top...


 

Then comes the silver piping...



Chrome Silver!



So the next step - Alex will make a few example tests for me to look at...
Then there's no turning back!
