Sean, I will only sell if it reaches the right level for a sale. If it does, then I'll sell it. If not, then I'll keep it. It is just that I have limited funds - and I can't keep all the cars I buy or want. Simple as that.
It'll give someone else the chance to own a 240Z. As I said, if it does not sell then I'll very happily keep.
I'll advertise it in the usual way, PH, eBay and C&C.

Forgive me, I'm always sad to see someone so passionate about a Z need/have to sell it and so soon after having completed it - like rennovating a house, putting in a pool and never using it before the next owner enjoys all your labour (even if they do pay for the priviledge) !
And of course, it'll be bye-bye from you too so one less to chat !

As I said, if it does not sell, then I'll be around for a little while yet!
Let's see what I can achieve for the car - if at all - as a benchmark for our cars

If it is the one that had the alloys and white lettered tyres what made you get it painted? It had a lovely patina about it.

How many miles have you done in it since it's been done?

It wasn't the one with white lettered tyres. Mine has fine micro blistering post respray about 15 years - it wouldn't have polished up. No choice but to bare metal.

Gotta be back to bare metal with micro-blistering.

Correct. No choice or you risk it coming back.

I'm not sure tbh. I'm guessing it's an etch primer. I know it had quite a bit of heavy primer, but don't know what went over the bare metal. I'll go to the body shop and ask - unless someone on here knows?

I think it is an etch of some kind. Or an epoxy, I think the epoxy is more common in the US. Then primer coat after primer coat, then a thicker filler coat of primer, to fill in the almost invisible nicks here and there etc. Flatting after each one maybe - then a dark guide coat to see where the waves are etc ...
