I started this for the People movers campaign, but sadly did not get very far before the deadline so I am continuing my progress here.
I have just about finished filling and sanding the body and hope to get the silver base coat on in a couple of hours.

Cheers Rob.

Got one coat of silver on, managed to get a small hair in the center of the hood so sanded that out as well as a couple other spots. Second coat tomorrow, oh and I managed to lose the spoiler.

Cheers Rob.

Glad to see this one coming back to life. That paint work looks sharp!

I have always liked the Fiero.
Looks good so far. Excellent choice of color.

Thanks guys!
It's the first time using Alclad II candy colors and there are some areas I am not happy with but it's not too bad.

Cheers Rob.

After a long delay I have finished with the candy color. Now have to decide on a clear coat.

Cheers Rob.

Looks great Rob.
How many coat did you have to give it, to get such a rich color?

Thanks Jesper!

I believe it was only two coats with a third for some spots that were too light, I know it was only two on the engine deck and rear bumper.

Cheers Rob.
