OH YES!!! Very nice.
WOW! just, WOW!
Gent's that is looking the business, well impressed. The depth of the colour, especially on the black is great and all the panels are flat and straight when looking at the reflections.........................well done Paramount Refinishing, excellent job Niki.
A copy of an original colour scheme with a twist.........................like it.
Were all the original cars blue? - I got the impression from photos that some were black, but couldn't decide if that was colour reproduction or real.Quote:

To say I am happy with the result is an understatement!
oops - price agreed in advance Neil?
The work scope & price were agreed in Advance - and looking at the results - it was worth every penny.Quote:

That's a great looking paint scheme and really suits the car, well done.
Vince.
I have just found Niki's Facebook page for Paramount refinishing - there are about 280 photos there of the painting in progress from start to finish...

The stickers just finish it off nicely, it was a bit bare without them - Niki has made a good job of applying them as well - top quality job all round.Quote:

As I havent seen the car yet, Mick would be the one to answer that question....
That looks sensational Neil.
The finish is superb.
Did Paramount do the prep, sanding, filling, undercoat etc.?
The wheels really suit it too!
I like the fuel filler location too....
...damn...do you wanna swop !
Yay got my first post in!!!
Hi Ginger,
Yes paramount did all the work from original paintwork through to new livery.
No the decals aren't laquered over for several reasons. Practicality more than anything else. If the car sustains any damage, no matter how minor, then the decals can be replaced without the need to repaint/relaquer. And to be honest, the vinyl that Sando uses is very fine and doesn't really produce any visible step in the surface.
Mick
Sorry No swaps :)
The car had been previously painted, but with modifications to the body work & new spoilers-
Paramount did all the work.
Filling around where i had altered the bodywork, filling the unused holes, a full body prep, primer, stone chip, topcoat, and applied the Decals.
The decals were done by Sando.
They even matched the yellow to be the same as the Decals.
You can see what they did on their facebook page..

I also have to say that the car wouldnt have got this far without support from my wife Bev who hasnt minded me spending hours in the garage working on the car or spending the pennies needed to do the job right.
A big thanks to you Bev & also to our two dogs Dougle & Diesel for not eating too many of my tools.
Really nice!!
I am looking for your Thread explaining the complete project!!

Arthur, there was quite a bit of prep work done on the body, the whole process can be seen at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Paramount-Refinishing/138030046289994?sk=photosQuote:

The main thread on the car is now in the members only section, but you can still find it on alfa BB & piston heads.....

Hi Neil,
Do you know the paint code for the Olio Fiat yellow?
Thanks.
It's not for a Stratos.
Bit of a late reply this, as I have been at sea for the last few weeks, without internet.....
I'm not much help either, as I dont have the code. For my car we matched the paint to Sando's stickers!
I would say it's not miles away from Ford Signal Yellow !!!!. If you need it exact ask Mick,s Lad, he should have it.Quote:
