knight-racer Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 Hey guys, sorry its taking so long, but the customer has been informed every step of the way. Most of the delay was at the beginning of the works due to the fact that the car was never given to us in a rollable state, the front wheel was collapsing. Both ourselves and Matt spent weeks just locating the correct parts. Fixing the hub, correct wheel studs, correct wheel spacers were a nightmare. We ended up having one made up from a neighbouring engineering company. These issues have now been resolved. All the kit has been fitted, all blending work has been done and settled, repair work from old panels performed, full prep work carried out and the car has been in the booth for spraying, so not long to go now. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knight-racer Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Everything we used on Matt's car has been exclusively House of Kolor, including primer, base coats, catalysts etc... we have been sent some extra materials from our dealer free of charge so hopefully that will sort it out.

knight-racer Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 (edited) De-greaser and panel wipe everything before paintwork is general practise. The car was sprayed in ventilated spraybooth with regulator fully operational.
