Painted stuff green today. Was a good morning to paint, dry and got hot after i had finished to dry the paint nicely.

I also made the mesh up for the front bumper - Iv used some plastic square pattern mesh - so it will not need painting and I think it'l be a lot stronger.

Now im gonna wait till friday for the green to harden. Put the lights in then fit the skirts and bumper

I hate waiting for the paint to dry!!!

And also fitted the red rear bumper today:) and polished it so it shines







The green paint was applied with a brush and finished with a gloss roller. The finish is like a poor spray job

Oh - and a good tip for anyone removing cento rear bumpers. Mole grips are pretty good for stopping the capive square things on the bottom two mounting points from spinning.

that looks brill purf. as for waiting for the paint to dry. it will be worth it once all the bitz are on the cinq. as for how it was painted it looks like a good finish. it is nice to be original as well and different. love the colours. top job

Are you doing the whole car mate?

[purf]

Fitting Front and rear bumpers and side skirts. The car was painted about 2 years ago at christmas time. It was sprayed in our shed and took about a week. The car was smart in starter red but i drove it into a hedge to avoid a big fat audi that spoilt my fun

There is a thread on FF if you search for Italian Flag...

that is looking really great nice one 

[purf]

Skirts test fit last night - Then i couldnt wait to fit one. I used duct tape to hold it in place as the sikaflex dried.



The picture shows test fit with no glue

Lots of loo roll and solvent (deoderant! ) was required to get excess sikaflex off...

Looks nice mate  (Lots of loo roll and solvent (deoderant! ) was required to get excess sikaflex off...)                                  just hope no one in ya house needs the bog roll or get sweaty and needs deodrant today

[purf]

Deoderant is also good for cleaning permanent pen off things

[STU?]

looks the dogs mate , good idea with the deo i used panel wipe when doing mine , cnt wait to see the bumpers on 

[halfpint]

is that spray on deodorant or stick? i just had to ask hehe. looks ace purf. hopefully u will be able to make a combe action day in the near future.

[purf]

Yeah i should probably get better results with some panel wipe or something...   

I will try and make it to castle combe this summer.

Anyone going to auto Italia at Brooklands this saturday? - maybe i should look in the events section?

[halfpint]

i dont tend to organize anything for brooklands as they never get back to me so i gave up on trying. if you go take some pics for us purf. next combe is june 12th.
