Hasn't been layerd with lacquer yet.

 

[Whiteley]

The work looks fairly decent for DIY, But photos can hide a lot.

I agree a compressor, A DIY booth and some mixed paint would work a lot better but wheres the fun!

I agree

 

[Hazza]

Coming along now, front end nearly finished, but doesn't look like a good finish IMO, but its up to him i guess!!

Mind u, might be the pics that make it look 'matt' as judging by this pic, it looks a good finished...

 

[Curtis!]

What's he going to do when he gets to the roof etc dude?

 

[Hazza]

EDIT:

Front bumper has not been lacquered yet, thats why it looks matt!!

Roof he is going to 3M Carbon vinyl it, along with the boot lid.

 

[Tunst]

I think he said he was wrapping the roof and boot lid in carbon? cant remember though


Edit: Beaten To It ^^

 

[Curtis!]

Ah yeah!

Still got the A pillars etc to do though.

 

[Rob]

Doors are going to be the hardest bit!

More progress needed tbh! Why is the bumper on the car now lacquered? Don't tell me he's driving it inbetween stages

It'll just ruin the finish

Nah not driving it, hes got an ek4 as a daily, whilst he gets this car sorted.

Don't know why hes put it on, maybe couldn't' wait to see what it looked like?

 

[Hazza]

DIY FTW lol

 

[StevenMc29]

Coming along nicely this...

 

[Bluebeard]

lol at this whole thread!!

Fair play to him, it looks half decent!

 

[rory182]

Decent effort, look forward to seeing finished results

 

[DB.]

Looks quite good, especially for DIY.

Tell him to clean those front wheels!

 

[Chris205]

LOL, the ammount of money he'll be spending on rattle cans will end up more than it would to hire a gun, compressor and buy your paint, still epic though

 

[Laura]

im spraying my own car but im doing it with a compessor and gun,

surely he needs to primer it!?

be interesting to see in the flesh anyway.

He has primered it has he not?

 

[Rob]

I do love this, really looking forward to seeing it finished.

 

[kev182cup]

In the pic with him spraying the door there ain't no primer. Lol dull yellow any1.

What's the grey stuff then? :S

 

[kev182cup]

The shell where he ain't sanded it down to the bare metal.

 

[iimushroomzii]

On the rear quarter it looks like that, but on the door it looks more like primer. God knows.

 

[kev182cup]

He's done it very thin if he has primered it. I'd of used white primer aswell for yellow.

 

[Jason_E]

Post this up on detailing world, I DARE you .

Fair play to him though! Looks alright.

u blind or somethin

 

[Hazza]

Looks excellent at the mo IMO!

 

[Malky]

for a diy rattle can job I'd say that looks good. Pictures can have a habit of lying though

 

[Rob]

I'd love to see it up close, but he looks to be doing pretty well at the moment

 

[conneh]

Well its yellow and a del sol.

 

[Gally]

It's going to look shocking in the flesh but pictures look okay mate.

 

[.GAZ.]

Oh dear.

 

[Andyrg@ ClioTurbo]

fair play too him for trying.

 

[Charlie.]

Just looks like a tatty old sun damaged Del Sol.....

Why not something mad?

Or matt black or something...

 

[ekaJ]

Should of chose a slightly less revealing (gay) colour..

 

[kev182cup]

Alright, back to the thread then.

 

[J03]

hahaaaaa poverty spec. why should i pay to have some privileges i dont even need?

back on topic, surely the amount hes spent on rattle cans and sandpaper is alot by now? to get a perfect finish i bought like 5 cans of paint about 3 cans of laquer and 2 cans of primer just to some colour coding on the front bumper..
