il ring my supplier up and see what price he can do it for you at. so 3 litres of basecoat then 3 litres of the pearl topcoat ?

you can heat it up to some extent just dont go crazy with it.. the rings are only small anyway so will soon warm up enough to free them up

i was so close to painting my van LY the other week but couldnt get my clio up to the unit.. does look great tho !

what about buying a used gaming pc, you said the resale value is minimal.. so surely there will be some good buys about ?

what makes you say you need 3 paints ? just a base + the pearl is all you need really. providing your not going over a dark colour which you stated already that your not. The ammount you requite depends on the painter.. but i would get 3litre of each to be on the safe side

as above, it has a ground/basecoat then a translucent pearl coat over the top. So kinda costs abit more than a normal respray would.

no probs n goodluck with it.. post up some pics when completed

yeah thoroughly clean the panel.. can use white spirits if you dont have panel wipe.. use a moist cloth/rag dont flat the paint its not needed, just lacquer straight over the paint.

that sounds more like it.. should be fine then mate. just give it 2-3 good coats.. then flat it back ( wet 600 lightly) then give 2more coats.. flat again then paint.

sure its not p600 then ? p60 would destroy the surface.

more than likely it will of ruined it.. a red scotch would of sufficed. p40,p60 and p80 are ideally only for filler work.. or surface rust removal. using something so coarse on a plastic will ruin it unless you know how to properly repair the item. Personally i would go to the scrapper and...

you said you used p60 ..what was this used on ?

you flatted the plastic with 60 ?? or did you mean 600 ? if you did it with 60 then thats wayyy to coarse. You will have to wet flat it with 600 till its very smooth and all he bobbly bits have gone... then high fill prime

buy a decent lacquer tho, not cheap hikote or whatever stuff

red scotch the trim, followed by a few coats of primer.. leave 30 mins or so to dry.. then wet grey scotch or wet flat it with 600.. then paint.. 3-4 coats.. lacquer if you want it to have a gloss finish

what colour is your car ? ideally.. it wants priming ( so none of the prev colour can bleed through). you then want the bonnet and both wings spraying so the colour can be blown into the wings and give a better match. for me to do it would be approx 250 for a proper job.. some places will be...

championship white dont you mean... even tho its more of a very mild yellow

personally i would ditch the CDA, ideally you want the bucket feed system

use the search bar at the top of the thread.. topic has been covered to many times

can be the start of lacquer peel.. or trapped water from waterbased paint not been thoroughly dried before lacquering.. whichi will normally lead to lacquer peel anyway or are you on about the bright smaller more white marks ?

car looks good. and making good progress with it to

so your wanting to do a turbo conversion but are asking very very basic questions. Be honest with yourself.. even if we do actually give you all the info you need are you ever going to even attempt this.. or even have the funds for it ? threads like this pop up regular from dreamers and tbh i...

it can do.. all depends on what your doing it with tbh

add me mx1champ89.. only just got it but should get some decent cars before long.

i also have logitech 2.1 for 60quid its bang on

not really tbh.. also depends how mechanically able you are. inlets matched, decat and rs tuner may be your best bet. Or keep an eye out for a used itb kit on the cheap. do you have any chassis mods ? ie suspension + brakes

depends on your budget really ?

few people have done it.. infact there is a conversion for sale. use the forum search tool to help with more info

joeh .. nice clio that. have seen it around a few times.

trapped child under car ?
