Anglia Progress

Tonight I flipped the doors round and the bootlid over and slapped on 4 nice heavy coats of yellow. So it was back to this again at first:

I lifted the doors off the ground by standing them up on bricks so they wouldn't stick to the cardboard I'm using to protect the floor:

After 2 coats, they looked great but I was a bit keen with the spray gun and got a couple of runs:

This is fine because I'm going to be block sanding and with two more heavy coats on top of that the runs are now hardly a problem at all. It's amazing that I blocked down the original paint and filler with 180-grit paper and this paint has completely buried it!

Boot looks nice and consistent now and I managed to get a few coats on that pesky back panel:

So this is nearly it. The car is now down to just three colours, red in the engine bay, yellw all over and blue flip front. Next job is to tackle that beaten p beast and get it in some kind of shape that I can spray onto. I roughly got it there before but it needs a lot more work before painting.
