PS Hats off to you for doing all that bodywork preparation on your Cortina....and IMO white is good for the underside of the car, it looks so much better than the ubiquitous black.It makes the car much easier to work on as any oil leaks ( hopefully none ) can be seen, and it's much easier to illuminate when the car is on axle stands in a home garage ( ask me how I know that !!)Keep the updates flowing, it is a great project and bring back memories of my Elan.....( hence the post above !!)

LimeyBoy said: A favorite thread, so enjoyable to follow your progress (and the odd bump). Thanks for taking the time to share Thank you LimeyBoy, you're welcome. I'm hoping that some of this serves as a cautionary tale but also that not only is it ok to make mistakes it's worth having a go.This leads me into the next steps with the Cortina; with the inner wing paint needing repairs I flattened the paint, masked it off and the rest of the shell and figured whilst I was mixing paint I'll might as well do the rest of the shell.I had problems with the finish with this, I found the first patches I sprayed were ok but then seemed to be rather thick - I had always mixed the paint at 10% which was correct but when this happened I removed the paint, stirred it and added another 5% approx to get a decent spray. It worked and I continued and from the pictures above it on the whole looked great. I was constantly moving the shell to ensure I wasn't too close as per the primer spraying issues and it seemed to work but christ was I sore!With everything cleaned and packed away I called it a day, I went back into the garage the next day to asses the work and was treated by this horror show!It looked like it was melting! I had over thinned the paint, instead of stopping and potentially losing 500ml of paint I'd wasted 2L approximately all because I made a bad call. My only excuse for this is my want to get the Cortina back on the road.Because of the over thinned paint it wouldn't cure fully - especially the outer coat (1 applied 3 coats in that session 30 mins between which at the temperature in the garage was more than enough for the previous coat to flash off.) So when I went to sort the runs the paint peeled off.I spoke to some people on another forum who confirmed my errors and so I was tasked with brush painting the areas of paint that had peeled and wet sanding the entire body back to 400 - putting me back to square 1.This took longer to do than primer as the paint would bind
