evinX Posted August 3, 2010 Author Share Posted August 3, 2010 Done the skirts today, noticed some imperfections so tomorrow when they are dry, i can sort them and spot paint the area and the paint will just blend it, im loving this, PICS! http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs236.snc4/39156_1554270613647_1141640031_3199107_603353_n.jpg http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs107.ash2/38684_1554271013657_1141640031_3199108_6296205_n.jpg Wet paint still drying on the passenger skirt http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs107.ash2/38684_1554271053658_1141640031_3199109_5222996_n.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JODY T Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 nice one, i just sprayed my front splitter satin black out of a can.. Only problem i can see is the paint isnt as strong as normal car paint so it chips alot easier, but then with satin you can just repair and spray over again..

evinX Posted August 3, 2010 Author Share Posted August 3, 2010 Quality finish there mate ..........lol Did your labrador look after your white stick while you painted it? I dont get you lol, the dry area? i didnt paint heavy i misted it all on, takes that long to dry that when you put another mist on it gets heavy on the panel, after its all black i go over with a mist to even the paint out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Thank you guys, your comments really do make me feel x10 better about this, thanks:) Just don't be tempted to rush it.... The spoiler and the skirts have come up well in the photographs, doing the body without patches will be difficult. good luck..!! H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JODY T Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Get a can of hammerite from halfords, dries really tough, perfect for the bottom of the bumper if your getting stone chips then might try it, only done 65miles already scraped the bottom and had to respray the front on the car.. Cant be bothered to remove it yet, Ill give it a few months i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant be bothered to remove it yet, Ill give it a few months i think Dont remove it dude! mask of the lip and the front of the car, prep it, paint the lip, let it dry and remove the masking, job done, its that simple:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JODY T Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Yeah but cant get the car high enough to get to the bottom for repair, so easier to remove bumper, when thats off i might as well take it off as itll take longer to mask it up.. Ill do it but i might get another lip and do that one properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evinX Posted August 4, 2010 Author Share Posted August 4, 2010 no set date mate, once the rest of the parts are done, and i get a nice day ill lay the paint on, to be honest, i cant turn my attention away with someone coming over when im painting it, so when its dry i can pm you if you like? or if its done before suprapod, someone get a trailer and take it down to the meet, im no probs with that:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
