Jim Bowen 1 Posted April 19, 2016 :( That's the sort of thing i do. Had my bonnet up and was jacking car up, was getting difficult and couldn't work out why, so looked up and the bonnet was stuck on the ceiling/up and over door :lol: Bent the bonnet stay and marked the paint.

seanl82 23 Posted April 19, 2016 Attempted to fit the soda blasted inlet manifold this morning, only to be defeated by a rounded hex bolt so couldn't get the old one off. I'll have to remove the slam panel to drill it out at some point, but couldn't be bothered today. Put it all back together and gave it an apc wash then Tfr in preparation for a quick going over with the rotary polisher tomorrow. Hopefully it doesn't rain on Thursday as I'll be applying the carpro cquartz to the bodywork, and dlux to the plastics. Interior was done yesterday - hoovered, carpets cleaned with apc, leather cleaned and fed with furniture clinic stuff, and trim dressed with poorboys natural look trim dressing. Looks great in there, hopefully the outside looks nice after I've finished too. Engine bay is starting to look a little grubby again, but it has been almost 2 years since I did it and I've had to use it in all weathers the last few months.

KIPVW 0 Posted April 20, 2016 Had a little paint issue on the Rear Bumper of the VR so got busy with an aerosol and it looks great. Just need to wet and dry it now to get rid of the masking tape line etc which is obviously where I'll F'k it up 😃 Will let you know how it goes.

Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk I did a couple of areas a while back Kip, and provided the colour match on the paint is good and the areas are relatively small, it'll come up far better than you could imagine with a rattle can! Just be gentle with the wet sanding as the factory paint is obviously much thinner than than that applied by yourself. A good cutting compound then finishing polish will leave it looking brilliant! http://the-corrado.net/showthread.php?79984-Seanl82-s-uuuuumm-Storm&p=979771&viewfull=1#post979771 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KIPVW 0 Posted April 20, 2016 Thanks Sean. Yeah it looks brilliant really. Just a shame the blending may cause a chock up lol. Fingers crossed 😃 Sent from my GT-I9195 using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
