Our 1975 MG B Roadster has now been treated with a Polyester filler coating. This treatment has a fantastic adhesion to steel and zinc-coated sheet steel and is carried out prior to the high build filler treatment.

The guide coat will now be cleaned down in preparation for the high build primer stage. The high build primer will give a green tinge to the body shell and is when the car will start to look more like a car. It is at this stage we will look to finalise the shape and lines ready for the new colour to be applied next week.
