heres the update you have all been waiting for..

got the body back from my mates body shop, in a gorgeous yellow, perfect finish!!!!!

masked it off and painted the red, spot on finish!!!!

started removing the masking tape and DISASTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the yellow just peeled off like the shell on a hard boiled egg, am so frustrated with it

now have to pic it all off and start again.

Oh man. Major bummer there dude. What paint did he use? I guess, as the only plus point, at least it peels off cleanly so that you have a fresh base to start from again.

yeh, it could have been a lot worse, he painted it at work with car paint (it got put in with a yellow seat ibiza) it was just painted on with no primer so just peeled off, been picking it off all evening. going to do it myself this time. will plastic prime 1st an then go over it as im sure there will be some wet n dry required!!!!!

Great thread, love the build and the video :) .. Sorry to see the first paint job did not work out, but you will sort it out. You give me inspiration to build mine eventhough its race season....
