shaunje 10 Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) Hi all, I've had my 16V just over a week now, and alredy the faded red paint has bugged me, so I got hold of a Makita Polisher and set to :). Heres my result after 5 and a half hours today! I'm pretty happy with how it has come up, and hopefully it'll get better if I do it a few more times!

VW_OwneR_85 1 Posted January 27, 2013 i also found it out the hardway :) , idd recomend this stuff, http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2M-x-50M-Clear-Polythene-Dust-Sheet-Roll-Decorator-Plastic-Cover-Visqueen-/200831890451?pt=UK_DIY_Material_Paint_Varnish_MJ&hash=item2ec2837413 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Needs another few goes to get it nice, but the bloody thing is covered in key marks from some angry ******* and has a fair few little dings. Once my Caddy is all finished, I might give the Corrado a nice paint to bring it out top notch! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
