Pig Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 Doors and tailgate now off, bonnet to go. Everything is now primed and ready to go apart from the doors and shuts. Will be painted at the end of the week ready for a mad refit this weekend and next week along with polishing and having the paint protection similar to armour fend fitted.

SteveR Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 ...having the paint protection similar to armour fend fitted. Interested in this Jon; I don't have much experience/exposure to cars that have had this done, but someone on here posted up that they wish they hadn't as the 'edge' is very easy to see; I've noticed that on a few cars I've seen - have you found a better solution? I'm also never sure how polished & shiny a car can be with this stuff on, Vs without? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted June 2, 2008 Author Share Posted June 2, 2008 Is that rust? Nope, stopped, it filles any extra deep chips that didnt come out with the prepping. I assume you mean the red bits?

I took it I will still have a line, but TBH i dont think there is any other option as paintwork is so expensive and i drive right up peoples arses when racing or 1 day at marham car ruin a bumper. Ill post up links when its done and you can make your own mind up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pig Posted June 6, 2008 Author Share Posted June 6, 2008 She is being sprayed tomorrow morning. Am REALLY excited, all being well she will be done by thurday as im taking her to le mans. The car is almost ready to be driven into the oven. Just a bit more masking, the dash needs scotching and the door need wet priming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
