1981 Porsche 911 SC Bare Metal Repaint
The car looks good on first inspection but needs work to the B-posts and Kidney bowls, it has also been repainted a number of times before so the decision was made to strip it to bare metal.
Strip down begins
All panels back to the metal
"Kidney Bowl" looked solid at first glance but further inspection revealed the metal to be very thin.
Old panels removed
Drivers side also needs replacing
New sections in place on passenger side
Repaired areas coated with epoxy mastic whilst access is easy.
Lower rear wing needed a repair section made
Clamped back in it's original location
Metal work finished.
Lots of pieces to paint
In Primer ready for topcoat.
In the oven preparing for colour coat
Colour base coat applied
Clear Laquer Applied over basecoat
Back from the paintshop
Lovely Colour (HellBlau)
Starting to prepare for refit, vunerable areas are coated with epoxy mastic.
And then treated with an underbody anti-corrosion wax
Underside also waxed
And the kidney bowls well protected
