Bristol 411 bodywork

[Janne]

Iam surprised how good the interior looks like.
And I admire you for the incredible work you have done so far.
In addition, I would like to mention, that you should check all areas of the body for thin aluminium, pinholes etc.
To check for thin aluminium, just gently press with a finger and see if the metal skin flexes. Pinholes - visual check.

Also, before you put on a fabulous new coat, check the underside for rust. It is better to have a competent company to repair the underside before any painjob.

Also, personally, I would not leave the Aluminium exposed too long.

And, before I forget, remove that rubber noisekilling strip before the paintjob.

Are the doors hagning straight and true? Hinges might need replacing if the pins are worn. Bristol have them.

The Window frames, seals and other bits will need to be replaced.

What colour did you have in mind?

Ah yes, one more tip:

If you clean all the lights with lukewarm water, dish washing liquid and a tooth brush (take apart first), then polish the outside surfaces, they will look like new, they will sparkle!
Lot of work (but nothing compared what you have done so far) but you will not regret it!

BTW, how is the engine? Sort out the resto of the engine before you paint the engine room.
