Budget Morris Minor Paint Job

It was time to give the Morris Minor a better paint job. It had house paint on it which was pretty disgusting. Stripping and prepping the car proved to be no easy task. I used an automotive primer surfacer and an industrial enamel which is what the chap at the paint shop recommended.

bloody brilliant for the knowledge u started with ,, its a learning curve eh mate next one will be better

[@clayauslewis4236]

Nice job! A small suggestion: Morris Minors had pin striping along the bonnet, doors and rear body along the raised bodywork at door handle level. That small addition would really finish off the car beautifully.

[@KingTriangleCat]

Thats a good idea, need to locate some pin striping tape first, I don't think my hand would be steady enough to paint it on hahaha. Cheers

[@KingTriangleCat]

Looks like you did a really good job , well done .
Im restoring an old ish Triumph Dolomite and intend to paint it myself when the welding is all finished. At the moment I plan to use small rollers to paint most of it. And see how it goes. If it looks rubbish i may end up spraying it later on.

[@KingTriangleCat]

I don't recommend using rollers as it causes more trouble and headache later if you wanna strip it all off to spray it. Spraying gives significantly consistent and cleaner results, not the mention it's far easier. Best of luck with your restoration! Cheers!

Excellent job. Just shows you what can be hidden up and only find out during restoration

[@KingTriangleCat]

Cheers mate, yes lots of hidden "surprises" haha.

[@normanmart7933]

Thanks for that I'm just getting back to mine but luckily it's a project not my daily driver I think I've gone from novice to expert welder and I thought it just needed a paint.

[@KingTriangleCat]

Hahaha, it's all about the things you learn and encounter along the way aye. Looks can be deceiving lol. Best of luck with yours, cheers :-)
