First Colour – Laying paint on our 1960 MGA Roadster

Mauro has been working on getting the MGA Roadster back into its signature vibrant red. Our 1960 MGA Roadster has been perfectly prepared by the paint and body team here at our Suffolk HQ and now that the panels are in paint, the next step is to bring the body of the car in and get it looking the same!

Primed and Ready – Getting the 1960 MGA Roadster ready for colour

Mauro has been continuing to work on getting the 1960 MGA Roadster ready for its colour by keeping up his diligent and obsessive pursuit of perfection when it comes to the bodywork of the classic sports car.

With the car wearing a coat of polyfan, Mauro has painstakingly hand sanded every single inch of the car to make sure that each angle of the car is as good as it could possibly be. With the polyfan completely sanded off the car, it is a visual indication that each panel is exactly as it should be which means its time for the car to head into the paint booth for final primer.

Once the car had been carefully moved from the prep area at our Suffolk HQ, it was put into our booth for Mauro to lay down several coats of final primer on the car. All of the prep work on the car leads up to this moment, and as you can see the primer laid down near enough perfectly on each of the panels of the car.

Primed and Ready – Our 1960 MGA Roadster in Polyfan

Our 1960 MGA Roadster has been perfected by the paint and body team here at the Bridge Classic Cars Suffolk HQ in order to make sure that every panel and surface is smooth as glass.

Our technician Mauro has been painstakingly getting the body of the classic sports car ready by repeated rounds of filler and sanding work to build up areas which couldn’t be adjusted by the use of hammer and dolly. Once this stage was complete, the car was blown off to get rid of any sanding dust before taken into the booth, masked up and spray with its first coats of polyfan before it is sanded down again to begin the next stage.
