What did everyone get for xmas....

[Hyperkinetic]

No presents for me... (In The Netherlands: no presents with Christmas)

So I bought myself a brandnew Airfix/Gunze HighTech Jaguar XK-E for just 21 euros.

Happy holidays!

For xmas I got a serious paint work mishap from trying to repair a small rub through spot.

After a negative finger reflex causing a huge paint drip on a small area needed for minor paint coverage (a little corner of a front door, using an airbrush) I tried rubbing the drip out with compound which then happened to also rub away the previous painted and polished parts of the paint, causing a wide white primer area to show up underneath for BOTH the front fender and front door. An attempt to try to airbrush color back onto these parts involving masking tape resulted to the tape pulling a decal off the surface not affected by previous paint rubthrough.

As a result, this year I got a present of a virtually scrappable paint job on an otherwise perfect and original car body which will possibly result to an end to this project.



Merry Christmas all!
