Hi all, well ive had to change the hinge as it interferes with the inner panel, then guess what the inner panel dosent even fit (opened a whole bag of worms here) the inner panel is so far out I have loads of scratching to do ( I think revell didnt worry too much about the interior since the door are supposed to be shut so no one will see much of the interior, the rear door pillar sits at a diffrent angle to the door, ti dosnt reach the roof ( there is a gap of at least 1/8 of an inch) the front part where it joins the root of the window is about the same amount of gap, wont be doing this again in a hurry.

Good paint job! LOVE the technical aspects of the door hinge mechanism. I agree 1k clear would finish it off.

Forgive my ignorance but what is 1k clear and where would you get it from?


Also I've heard you "car people" talk of zero paints are they really that good.


As Si said a wacky paint job Ken I'm liking the work on the doors hope you solve the issues.


Think when I do mine they will be staying firmly closed


Keep up the good work mate.

It's a clear coat used for very high gloss finish

Nice work on the tech with the hinge ( shows we can update kits ( not all aftermarket) but sheer thought and ingenuity


Love the colour scheme and off set paint job


Cheers

1K is a one component paint system, 2K is a two component paint system.


1K usually dries/hardens by evaporation of some of it's contents.


2K needs an additive/hardener to be mixed with the main paint/lacquer for it to be able to cure/harden.


Not to be confused with 2 coat paint system, which is a base-coat/clear system.


A base colour is applied, then when dried is coated with a clear lacquer, often a 2K lacquer to give it it's shine/gloss


Varnish is normally associated with oil based paints.


Hopefully that will make it a little easier to understand!


A great build and interesting colour scheme all the same!

good work ken needs. Petrol line, radiator pipes, brake pipes, fuel tank, battery, fan belt & fan. But most off all seats, steering wheel, foot & hand brake clutch peddle, gear stick wheels and and BODY SHELL other wise it will not go any where Oh few more other things ignition & key and dash board, speed-o, fuel, gauge heater gauge accelerator peddle and M.O.T. and tax and insurance from go compare.
