Car is coming on great - I can't wait to see it done! Have you decided on the wheels yet?
Personally I'd leave any filling up to the guy spraying it, especially with it going to be gloss black, which shows up imperfections in filler like nothing else Many painters will refuse to spray over other peoples prep, and the primer you are using looks like rustoleum stuff which in my experience doesn't play well with other types of paint

I'm painting it... just under guidance of Col @ KustomKolors. He's asked me to bring it in its high build primer. the primer I used today was just as a quick protect and will be sanded off before proper primer.
I've given myself 2 weeks of evenings and the bank holiday w/e to get it done...plenty of time to get it right

Looking reeet good and the Kustom Kolors boys will help you finish it nicely. Colin and Justin did my Impala and it still makes me hard (despite not being on the road yet).

I'm sure they'll make sure I don't fudge it up completely! LOL I must say, I have been having MAJOR reservations about going black with it for the last week or so

ZOMMMMM! Haven't really checked this thread much but awesome work Mr. Somersett! Really looking forward to seeing more progress!
With regards to the colour, black will look really good but I would also consider a dark chestnut brown. Just think it would really suit this car. Especially with the other planned mods.

I'm wondering if going for the stealth-luxury black would be better against having a really eye-catching 'wOw' kinda colour. Maybe like this: (excuse rushed photoshop)

Black - really deep, smooth, thickly laquered jet black. Ooof!
At most i reckon you could do like a two tone with that black and a gunmetal grey/silver for the top half. But i'd still say keep it black.

Its very straight in my book but i KNOW its got lumps & bumps I wouldnt 2-tone it... not on a car like this. Want to avoid red or royal blue because everyone will mistake it for your old one or Eddies old one. don't think I can afford kandy
