The next job I tackled was the rear windows , I had not planned on doing anything to them but cleaning them , but when offered up next to the new paint I realised they needed doing .
This is how a restoration gets out of control when you are paying someone to do it - If the paint is shiny then everything has to match or it sticks out like a sore thumb .
The windows were masked inside and out and the same treatment was given , etch , primer , base and clear - im sure you are bored of the stages by now so Ill spare you the photo's of the early stages
Base coat , again Mercedes Metallic black
Clear coat going on
Masking removed to allow paint to settle whilst baking
Window fitted and much better than before
I also got around to refitting some stuff under the bonnet that had been removed - Washer bottle was cleaned and replaced
Heater air intake cleaned up and fitted
New air filter fitted and housing replaced
