Sweet about the halfords spray, ive already got some and it didnt look that good of a match when testing, but i didnt use any primer and i think thats the reason.

Going to do my door handles soon, should be fun lol.

Good work so far.

 

[guysy]

Oh and by the way, What type of primer did you use please?

cheers budi

Ho wclose a match is it to the ones on the car then?

its very close i think, the paint really sparkles as you would see a pearlecent black all washed and polished up, a nice tint of gold and metalic really shines through, just cleaning the car so pics will follow very soon

 

[J03]

wooo colour code and wash complete!!!
am chuffed with the results however there are slight orange peels but i love it! my first minor-major facelift project i also filled in the holes with filler, never used it before but kinda got the gist of it, so its all smooth on the plate bit, i want to smooth the whole thing so that might be my next thing..
getting use to spray jobs now hope you all like opinons please!

thanks for looking

Wicked job there mate.

Has given me the motivation to get mine done.

Have you told the insurance company you have colour coded? or just left it.. im not too sure weather i should, result would be i cant, bloody direct line.

 

[J03]

gdgd get it done, lol no i havent mate.. its only colour code, on some clios i think its the extreme or billabong you can get them colour coded as option or standard i duno.. but no point really.. its like telling them uve done something only the trained eye can tell...

 

[Amy]

i love your headlights!
where did you get them/which ones are they?

 

[Gadget man]

Nice job on the colour coding!

Just wish I had the patience and know how to do something like that myself.

I had mine done at a bodyshop as it seemed easier. I haven't declared my colour-coding as it's painting of existing parts.

 

[Leeshez]

nice
