Lols at the Pyramid! Love the Trophys mate! I have to laugh at the detail haterzz on here. People wonder why their handles are pink? Unlike the old pink Vauxhalls Capsicum red is a Clear overbase. So it's lacquered. The sun has simply penetrated the lacquer and faded the basecoat. By...

Re: Another Toy at work.. Lotus content... It's had 2 smart repairs mate. Laughable smart repairs. I've never heard of that fault mate. Things like that do happen from time to time. You usually find it's from a dodgy batch of primer/paint from the factory so will only affect a few cars.

Being Female Laura you'll cry even if it does start! Good luck hun! Hopefully there is light at the end of the tunnel somewhere! :)

Re: Another Toy at work.. Lotus content... I did take a couple I'll need to see how they look! The front bumper had me in stiches!

Not sure if want. Also grey texture is s**t. Needs to be satin black or actual painted black.

Mental car!

Unless you're moving up to machine just stick with SRP. Hand polishing is for gheys. SRP works fine for the job that it needs to do.

Nano sealants won't sit on anything except bare paint mate. You can't even layer it. Why not just put a sealant on a car? Or collinites? It'll last a year ffs!

R222's is filler heavy mate but immense on light colours. I'd say apart from Prime, Lusso RC is one of the best on the market pure cleanser. I love it. Gep leaves fillers aswell. Usually people just polish/Ipa then bodywrap mate. I use a cleanser as I don't use ipa.

I was thinking more Dulux silk?

Re: Another Toy at work.. Lotus content... Yeah and pretty consistent of other smart repairs. No offence intended to fellow members who may be smart repair guys. :o Everyone i've seen has been poor, when I say I mean shockingly bad. But then again if you were looking for bodyshop quality you'd...

I looked at that one guys, it's an option. Viper Green. Looks quite pale from some angles I find... Spring green almost...

Re: Another Toy at work.. Lotus content... PMSL! Oh the coincidence... we have a Focus ST (orange) In the paintshop rectifying 2 smart repairs. The front bumper and the 1/4 panel. It's now costing £700+ That's not a good way to save money. The front bumper is yellow/red/orange covered in...

Re: Another Toy at work.. Lotus content... It's waiting to be fixed by a reputable bodyshop... ;)

Nice but not nice enough imo. It's goes very yellow/limey in the wrong lights. UG is the perfect colour it just brings hassles with it!

Re: Another Toy at work.. Lotus content... I emailed you back James. Thanks again for the manual. Any tips on roof/rear clam removal?

Yup that's the exact one I already picked guys. Actually have the code and pricing next to me! :o Anyway we're going to test solvent as no one really wants to do a respray in waterbase!

Lols it's more the fact that we went with 6 coats of basecoat last time. 5 on Electric orange for coverage. More paint = Easier stone chipping, although the front end will be wrapped. We may or may no be looking at Solvent... :quiet:

That picture is a little bold. Here's a better one..

It needs to be as close to this as possible but a different paint... See my other thread for the Lotus that is being resprayed. Be back in 15minutes. :D

Want! F*ck being the postman though.

Well the Springs are being made for a fellow owner as we speak. I think he is going -30mm. I only want -20mm so i'll see how his turn out and go from there. Hubcentric Eibach spacers to come soon aswell. I can have 30/40mm rear axles spacers (orginals are 20mm) for the rear but it cause...

Hotmail is so so so bad but changing is a ballache. My missus did it after her account got hack this month. She had her account since 03'. She had so many websites registered with her old email so it's a c**t tbh!

He uses a spin doctor.. i'm out. Oh and they ruined a capri.

I was just going to comment that's 3/4 i've seen you do recently! Bloody glutton for punishment. I avoid German at the best of times never mind outdoor 1 dayers! Do you do many where you can use the owners garage Russ or once in a blue moon? A lot og garages these days can't actually fit a car...

Great work dude. Black wheels are looking very dated on some cars these days though 'IMO'.

Fantastic work Russ! Looks wetter than your own one ffs!!!!

I never "got" that spoiler. I don't care how "scene" it is. It's w**k.

Jesus f**king wept! One guy at work managed to ruin not 1 but 2 putting them in the wrong way round!
