Late night painting the roadster.

It's been a tough week - being crunch time at work and crunch time on the cobra. Earlier this week Josh and I built a make-shift paint booth for proper ventilation. A sweet 2x4 frame with painters plastic stapled to the wood. It's so big that it takes 2 people to close the garage door. One person to bend back the main 2x4 so the door will clear and one person to close it.

Also earlier this week we sanded back the clear coat and removed all the 'trim' from the cobra. Removing the rollbars was especially fun...Last night we taped it and cleaned it up and Josh painted it. We laid on the stripes - Josh painted them - then we pulled the tape and sprayed the clear.

I took a few pics of the process last night with my camera but didn't get home until well after 1am so I took one with my phone so I could post it up today. Consider it a teaser pic - you can see the ghost stripes if you look very closely between the picture's grain. Hopefully next week we'll cut & polish it and reassemble everything. At that point it will be 'done' and anything else I do to it will be enhancements to a final product.
