I use fiat broom yellow as i wanted to be a little differant from the LY club. am going to be sanding down the renault sport on the top to go back silver but that will come next weekend

yea i have stickers replicating the original 2.0 16v on order from a mate in the know. I use 1 and a half cans of 500ml paint. 4 coats in all, all lightly sprayed to avoid runs and acheive a really bright finish. I spent hours in preparation too the key is sanding between coats. And take your time!

 

[Cal182]

What grade paper did you use? You use wet/dry?

 

[Alex342]

used 240 after an initial wipe down with thinners then to 800 afterwards use preparation wipes to be sure all the grease oil etc is gone. Use 1200 grade wet n dry between coats to get rid of imperfections.

 

[Leeshez]

Brilliant .

 

[Alex342]

All finished now i think the silver sets it off nicely

 

[subarufreak]

did you paint the silver or did you remove the black then?

 

[Cal182]

What paint did you use on the engine?

 

[Alex342]

i used high temperature enamel paint in gloss black. And i sanded the badge to bring back the original silver. I think it worked quite well.

 

[Alex342]

right completly finished now got the sticker though so. looking slick i feel
