but I'll post it here in case anyone is interested or has any opinions.

 

I've scratched the paint on my OS door mirror and now you can see the original Red colour, ie the colour it was before my respray last Sept.

The thing is, my car was painted in a non-standard colour, Rage® Extreme Shock Waves Thunderstorm , not exactly the kind of thing I'm going to be able to get from Halfords. However I've still got the left-over paint that Dude kindly let me have after the job was finished. Will this paint still be usable? It's been sat in my cold garage all over the winter.

 

I thought I would have a go at repainting the mirror myself, I mean what's the worst that could happen?

What thinners and lacquer should I use with this type of paint? Just the regular stuff for cellulose, or what?

 

thanks

8000 miles , theyve done pretty well if they were only cheap !!!they will be NGK's

Theres a few sups being broken it may be worth trying to buy the fan couplig 2nd hand

spats wont be a problem , if we can get a coupling you can drop the car off for a couple of days and i can sort her out for you !!

Yeah I think they were NGKs, loads cheaper than those Iridium things anyway.

 

So to recap, what I'd like done :

Fan viscous coupling replaced

Door mirror repainted

Rear spats repaired and repainted

Plugs changed

 

Could you fit a restrictor ring in for me as well please?

 

I think the ashtray need emptying as well.

 

 

Any chance of a loaner while you've got mine? I'm not fussy, as long as it's not a UK spec
