Ready, steady, go!

Here we go! The printers team are spraying pure white on the body, doors and hood. This is a one-layer lacquer, that usually needs no clear coat anymore. Nevertheless it will get some clear coat in the end, just like the blue parts. But before they start with the masking for the blue color, the white parts have to be polished.

Now the blue is on and as long as it is not dry the printers crew is getting rid of the masking tape. If they would wait until the paint has dried, they would risk to chip it while removing the tape.

Watch out for the masking tape! If it hits the painted parts, they can start all over again.
Always difficult to paint is the part behind the air vents. They used some very fine brushes to correct some small imperfections.

Finally two layers of clear coat refine the Scorcher. Now not only the parts are shining, our eyes do that as well. We can't wait to finish our car puzzle.

The painters needed over 180 hours for their work! The result is accordingly high-quality.
