Dave's Prado 120

[Dave]

After the rear bumper got a scrape at CityView 4x4 Park (see video link below), and maybe a bump or two at the Glasshouse, and a knock at Sandy Creek, etc, etc, it was time for a quick respray.


You can see the results after some sanding, filling, etc. Soon the left side of the bumper so much better than the right, so the right side got a touch up too. And then I started on the middle. But the sun was going down, and I had enough of sanding the bumper.
It was spray painted under a dim garage light. In the morning I saw several imperfections, but I'll take care of them the next time it gets a respray.

Below is the photo before painting, and after the spray paint and 4 layers of clear coat.

And I now have an on-board compressor and 4 litre air tank. It can inflate the 32" tires from 20 to 40PSI in 63 seconds.

That looks like a good paint job on the bar Dave. You won't want to scratch it again for a while now - have to very carefully

[Dave]

Well, the biggest problem is that the rest of the car now needs a re-spray. The other panels aren't scratched too badly, but after 10 years, the paint has faded a little, and now doesn't perfectly match the new paint.

Oh well, I need to hide any mis-match with a coating of dirt, dust, and a little mud.

Yeah, your car is really cool!
