Land Cruiser 17th year major repair! Part 4, body paint winding

Updated: Aug 12, 2022

Continuing from the previous base finish, I will paste the photo at the time of painting.


 


Finally finished groundwork


Ready to paint!


Finally, the car with the groundwork finished.

I finished masking for painting.

The state where painting preparation is completed.


Masking inside the car


Mask the inside of the car, dashboard area and cables.

A system has been put in place to allow painting of the body, inside and outside.



Body painting



The color to be painted is the same cream color.


I think it's a color that goes well with savanna, bush, and town.

I rarely see cars of the same cream color that I've been used to for many years, so I like it a lot.


Apply 1 layer, 2 layers, 3 layers, 4 layers, and 5 layers.


At the time of painting, the weather was a light cloudy sky with no rain, and the weather was good for painting.



Parts removed from the body are also painted at the same time



These parts are also painted after removing rust and finishing the base.


The top is the part under the front grill.

The part in the middle is between the bonnet and the front glass.

The left is the fuel filler lid.



Don't forget to paint the hood


The back of the bonnet has a rough finish with the same cream color.



The grill is also painted black



From the grill to the steps, I painted it black with a rough surface finish.


The spare and leaf springs are also painted together.

The spare leaf spring is the first front and rear.

For replacement when it breaks on a long-distance rough road.


A high lift jack is attached below.

This mounting base is also a jack point when lifting up.



The rear tire stay is also roughly painted



Two spare tires are attached.

The rough black paint and the rough paint seem to add to the profound feeling.



Completed painting


When the turn signal lights etc. were installed, it became the shape of a car again.


The net in front of the front grille lights is to protect the lights when rowing in the bush.



The painting inside the car was finished for the time being.


Compared to the base finish, the painting work is quick!



The peripheral parts of the upper hatch are shabby, why haven't they been repaired yet?



Repair of the upper part of the body that has not been done even after painting.


The paint chief just says, "I'll do it later, so it's okay!"

No matter how you think about it, "It's work that should be done before painting the body!"

The painting chief, I'm working with many of them, so it's hard to get around.


Most of the body has been painted, but the work to complete it is still a turning point.


Repair of the upper part of the body, replacement of the lining, repair of fine paint, wiring, etc.

There is still a lot of work left.
