splinter Posted April 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 looks a good job - u should have a go at your front lip mate Haha, yeah i used amy's car as practise for spraying!! I am planning on some spraying of my bits too. Engine plastics and front lip to repair/spray!! So here she is finnished. the colour matches the tailgate, but is a bit light compared to the wing: - Just need to wash and polish it in a couple of days and then machine polish with some g3 and she'll be good as new. And while i was in the spraying mood i modded my new interior bits while its all out!! Matt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edd1Ninety9 Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Just a bit lighter than the rear quarter! :o Colour match on the bumper looks great but not too sure about the quarter. Well done for trying though, far more balls than I've ever had to take a can of spray to my car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splinter Posted April 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Was a bit nervous when I went at it with the yellow filler primer!! "what the fuck am I doing" was going through my head!! But now, it looks great. Just need to polish it all up on Thursday and then I'll be done. In the mean time, the front lip is being repaired and resprayed also. Hers, not mine!! :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splinter Posted April 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2011 Looks good! Did you flat it off before putting the lacquer on? Flatted off 800 grit between each of the 4 primer coats, 1200 grit between all 4 top coats and 2000 grit between 4 clear coats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
