Warpaint!
15 July 2007
My delightful red Safrane is no longer delightful or red. Thanks to my good friend Jason Jenkin from T-Mobile, the Safrane is now a very bright yellow on top, and blue down the sides.With paint codes direct from the Williams F1 factory, we were certain of getting the right colours, so off we went to the Swadlincote branch of Halfords to mix things up. A hearty breakfast at McDonald's while we waited set us up, and it was then off to create a spray booth from 50 metres of polythene supplied by Parker Merchanting.
Other than having a compressor die half way through, running out of primer, and missing a large part of the roof, everything went extremely well, even if it did take from about 10am until 11:30pm to get it all done. I then had to drive the freshly painted car home, and it really does get people's attention, even at close to 1am!
There's still more to do, as there'll be black and white covering the lower panels, but they've got to wait a few days.
