@roberttorres4893 I mixed the black ground coat myself but the demon paint came premixed, its from teroson. the paint is solvent base with a 2k clear coat.

@Jsevillla thanks Jorge 😊

@wackyraces824 thanks 😊

@Jsevillla thanks Jorge 😊 🙏

@classic1989mini by the time I'm finished I'll be close to retirement 😂😂 it's taken me that long.

@MiniDaly87 i think they dragged it behind a horse & cart at some point 😂

@@MiniManLes thanks 😊

@@classic1989mini thanks 😊

@Stubacca48 thanks Stuart

@@tbex9580 thanks 😊

@MiniDaly87 it's quite the look now all the panels are on. Looks more like a car now.

@wackyraces824 thanks for those kinds words, they mean a lot. Now velma is taking shape I'm really enjoying myself & you'll not regret it if you do it yourself. Thanks for watching there's a lot of episodes 😲.

@@Stubacca48 thanks 😊

@@MiniManLes yeah it really does

@paulp2129 thanks 😊. I sprayed base in a few areas of the raptor because some areas were see through.

@jasonblann33 the tds sheet said as soon as the cure time was finished you can prepare the epoxy for paint. The epoxy can be left as long as you like, don't think it has a timescale. Mines been a few months. The longer you leave it the harder the epoxy is to flat. Hope this has answered your question 😊

@Jsevillla thanks 😊

@@classicminiworkshop thanks 😊

@MiniDaly87 thanks john. I'd love to drive it next year. We'll have to see. I've got to rebuild it yet 🙃. That'll be interesting.

@velmathemini won't be a bother on you. You have came a long way with this. You do need the next project ready though 😂

@@MiniDaly87 I definitely won't be getting another project 😒 this has been enough, although I could start doing hotwheels 😂😂

@@Stubacca48 thanks 😊

@classic1989mini thanks 😊. Just a shame I couldn't get a good angle on the camera.

@@martysprojects yeah the raptor is good. I'll take a look at the ute 👍

The screwdriver of truth 😂😂. I was hoping that the floor was in better condition. I was told by the previous owner that the floors had been done professionally 😂😂.

@velmathemini it looks like I done them 😂😂😂

@@MiniDaly87 definitely not...

@MiniDaly87 I used the term "baby steps" & took it panel by panel 😀. I'm glad I've finished the panel work & I'm onto something more familiar. I have nightmares about the re-fit though 😱. Plenty of research should sort it though.

@velmathemini any problems give me a text and I can photo stuff mate we are all in this together

@@MiniDaly87 no worries 👍. I'll definitely do that 😉 😄.

@TheColinf1 that's what I was thinking. Thanks 😊

@MiniDaly87 Thanks, john. No worries on the primer tip 😉 👍.

@Stubacca48 thanks Stuart 😊

@MiniManLes thanks 😊. This is the exact reason for why I did it.

@thomasmacbride8006 that's no problem, I know it's not for everyone. I've only done because I'm quite clumsy & I feel I'd damage the paint fitting the tank & the spare wheel can do some damage as well. Thanks for watching 😊😊.

@ruivaleriano9273 not sure what you mean? But thanks for your comment 😀.

@@malcolmlatham-bennett931 thanks 😊

@MiniDaly87 I definitely don't want to use or say epoxy again 😂😂. Using the raptor in the boot is genius 😂. I'm also using in the car on the floor.

@velmathemini great for sound deadening I kept the original stuff in mine. Shock horror. It wasn't rotten anywhere so it's a saving. The carpets hide my sins 😂

@MiniDaly87 I removed my original sound deadening because of all the previous welding & some had already been cut up. I found rust underneath some of it too. The crossmember, bins & some other parts are getting base & clear, anything else like the bulkhead, floor & seat area get the raptor.

@velmathemini your probably right to remove it all I think I was just lucky with mine. Can't wait to see further progress mate. Just watching your other builds now cracking colour on the sportspack

@@MiniDaly87 I particularly liked the surf blue, probably my favourite 😍. It's a shame because I've never seen them since 😪. I think I painted those in 2007/2008. Although I think the date is on the pictures 😂

@Stubacca48 thanks Stuart 😊

@@jasonblann33 I thought about paint stripper bit decided against it, purely for the strong smell it gives off. So I just sanded it all with 80 grit & strip & clean wheels.

@Stubacca48 thanks Stuart 😊

@@MiniManLes thanks 😊

@paulp2129 thanks. The epoxy primer is upol, it's difficult not to get runs lol & it's 2k. In my garage at 18 degrees takes around 5 days to cure.

@MiniDaly87 agreed with the filler. I probably should of investigated this a few years ago & put a new qtr on, but hey ho, I'm down that rabbit hole now. Yes I have to do it panel by panel due to the lack of space. A respray can become overwhelming & I feel if I just concentrate 1 panel at a time it's easier. Thanks for your comment 😀😀.

@@babsilicious you should take a look tomorrow 😀

@user-up8fi4nm7n I'm not really sure what this means but I'll definitely give it a thumbs 👍.

@@Stubacca48 it's a massive improvement from the 1k paint that was previously applied to the original paint. Thanks 🙂

@@MiniManLes I'm on bonus 😂😂

@MiniDaly87 thanks john 😀

@@elizawoodridge4465 definitely Eliza 😀

@philhuggett4776 thanks for answering this question. I've got the part in my boxes of bits. Didn't know what it's purpose was though.

@@velmathemini I've just done a little googling and it looks like it's simply to collect fuel vapour rather than letting them vent to atmosphere. I'd just ditch it mate. Save having to clean up that bracket 😁

@games-hy7km no, I added the colour to the bedliner & just sprayed it on. Then just left it to dry. I used a 100ml solvent base.

@@leemellor7198 cheers Lee 😊

@leemellor7198 thanks Lee 😊

@@karlgt9989 I believe mine will be a shade off as well, but I'm fine with that. The protection the raptor will give out weighs the colour difference. It's definitely a good choice to use it. I'll be doing inside the boot & inside the car. I wasn't thinking of the bulkhead, but now you've mentioned it... I think it's a good idea. I've still got 3 bottles left & I'll save on base & clear if I use that.

@@velmathemini you can only tell on the sills if you really look but yeah its good stuff
