BDA ,It sure does .

O’Rielly has a 25’ft roll of brake line so I decided to go with it other than join my he longest 72” length at advance auto. Bent up , flared and ready to install. I’ll just use the remainder length on the lotus.

Bulk of the van painted , kept it almost the same color so I could get away from painting the door jambs . The ground effects will be gold.

Very nice! Not quite as cool as your Lotus painting exhibits, but very nice!

Certified, painted in garage and after dry drove outside.
Too many birds to paint outside.
BDA, thanks again, it’s the wife ‘s baby but I may paint ,”team lotus” with the lotus emblem on it so when I tow the lotus around it will look semiprofessional.

 I love it, only a little smaller lettering . Also only Gold. I have a lot of lotus pit crew trailer / van pics to go thru but this was the first time I saw that vehicle.

Lotus fanatic, these pics are excellent. Painting ground effects now gold . I will incorporate some of these in the finished details. It makes this outdated van a curiosity item when done. Thanks again for the pic.

Helped a friend out and painting his Harley.
Just a nice small job . Getting ready to buff out after painting this 2k urethane clearcoat paint with a base called carbon flash .

I know it’s not the team lotus van but the urethane paint was pretty easy to sand and buff out!
