Fade To Grey
Mini Magazine|July 2018

A weekend well spent painting, and it’s almost ready to roll...

Fade To Grey

Grey paint all over my hands and the floor seems to be a reoccurring theme. While tinkering with the subframes, I took a good look under the floors of the race car and it wasn’t pretty. Clearly a previous owner had taken a few trips across the gravel traps for fun, as there was barely any paint left under there. Seeing as I’m probably going to do the same, a quick dab of paint would have probably done the trick, but I don’t like to bodge.

Luckily the grey interior and underside turned out to be a RAL colour, which is easy to have mixed from most auto paint shops.
