DIY Paint Job! - Triumph TR7 Restoration Part 8

It's finally time to get the TR7 painted! Rather than paying money I didn't have to get a professional paint job done on the car, I decided to do it myself, at home in my garage. Can you paint a car in your garage? Yes. Should you paint a car in your garage? Maybe. But it's not easy. There's a reason professional car resprays cost as much as they do. With everything prepped from the last episode, all I needed to do was prepare the garage by covering everything with plastic sheeting. Then I got everything cleaned and masked and got to work! I sprayed the interior, the boot and the wheel wells first, just to get a feel for using the paint and the new gun - if I messed up, it wouldn't really be seen anyway. But I didn't need to worry - it all went fine. Then the engine bay was painted next - that came out great. Then the boot lid, bonnet and door panels were painted, and finally I got round to spraying the car body itself. It didn't come out perfect, but overall I was quite happy with what was essentially my first paint job, and done in a garage at that - with basic tools and a cheap compressor! It did need a lot of paint correction, though - mainly flatting the paint down with sandpaper and then using a DA polisher and some Farecla G3 scratch removal compound. I finished up with some more polishing, but ultimately I'm going to need to spend a lot more time finishing it all off. *Timestamps* 00:00 Introduction and covering the garage with plastic 00:45 Masking the car and getting everything clean 01:47 Preparing the first batch of paint 02:27 Spraying the interior, boot and wheel wells 03:27 Unmasking and inspection 05:35 Removing the dolly and preparing the engine bay 08:23 Painting the engine bay 11:20 Preparing the bonnet and boot lid 11:55 Painting the bonnet, boot lid & doors 14:20 Tidying up and moving the car 16:25 Preparing the body for paint 17:16 Spraying the car body 22:21 Unmasking and final inspection 25:00 Colour sanding and paint correction 29:04 Coming up next 29:17 Outro #Triumph #TR7 #Restoration
