Well, as you may recall, about a month ago I posted that
after a short but intense resto on my 1970 MGB I had just
finish painting it with a fresh new coat of white paint.
Well, as of today, I just finished coating it with
a beautiful fresh coat of blue paint.
I don't know why, I just didn't like the white so much. The
car was white when I got it, and I liked it, so I decided
to keep it white. However, as soon as it was done, I
realized it wasn't my favourite colour.
Rather than have this nag on me for the next few years, I
sanded it all down and made it blue. It's only a shell now
but I think I like this colour a lot. It's 1997 Dodge
Neon intense blue. The paint is both metallic and pearl, nothing
vintage about this colour, apologies to the purists.
I hope I like this colour, it gets expensive to paint your
car and use it for a week then start sanding again. I honestly
did about 20 miles as a "white car".
I'll have images on the web site in a few weeks. Apologies
to those with white Bs if I have seemingly put them down. I
liked OTHER white Bs so that is why I kept mine white, I
just didn't like the result.
Oh well, live and learn. I got twice the practice at
spraying though, which is nice because the whole point of
fixing my B was to practice for my TRUE project, my
58 ZB Magnette. Coming soon to a garage near me.
