[Storm_Force]

Nice spray job there m8.

(just noticed I am not the far from you)

 

[nathan_warduk]

we'll have to meet up sometime at a meet, ive never been to one, i wonder when the next one is

 

[R20 CWH]

looks superb

 

[Christopher]

yeah, it looks nice!

but never polish fresh paint. ever. especially with a cutting agent like SRP etc ...i've never used Mer so i don't know if it's very abrasive.

give it at least a few weeks to properly cure and harden. you could wax it if you're gentle and want some protection.

good advice chris ^^...... spoiler looks nice pal

 

[nathan_warduk]

naa mer isnt abrashive its just to give it a shine really, i put some on and no red came off so thats alrighty then lol.

Cheers for the Comments

megs tech wax is the shiz ^^

 

[nathan_warduk]

cheers for the quick reply will get some tomorrow after the blokey from the body shop polishes up the spoiler for me

 

[AlexS]

Looking good, is that Dynamique spolier? I need one!

 

[R20 CWH]

good point there from chris - watch the paint, might even of been an idea to take the spoiler off and leave it to 'cure'

 

[nathan_warduk]

it was advertised as a 182 spoiler i believe i bought it off someone on here, or ebay, i think they are the same as the dynamique one but aint they like a matt material (like the side strips i dunno lol)

 

[R20 CWH]

its a non cupped spoiler matey

megs tech wax is the shiz ^^

i hope you're joking there?

 

[nathan_warduk]

i know its not a cup spoiler mate as i would have said it was a 182 cup spoiler lol, i know the cup spoiler has a rounded long red brake light

Thanks,

[nathan_warduk]

Bad advice IMO!

It is fine to polish new paint, chances are it will have been polished after painting. Most jobs need a light flat even on little areas and being polished after.

It is bad to seal or wax it unless advised ok by the painter. Would not use SRP on it though as it polishes and seals. Use a pure sealant free polish unless advised other wise.

If it has been baked properly it will be fine to polish/seal/wax. Ask the painter/bodyshop to be safe.

ahh, cheers for that Rich.

 

[nathan_warduk]

well i took it in to be polished today and he started on it and he was sanding it with an orbital sander im like wtf lol

[Giles]

looks nice

bumpers next?

 

[MrMark]

how easy was it to fit?/ get the old one off?

 

[nathan_warduk]

what the spoiler? 6 torx screws unscrew them with a size 15 torx bit (dont do it with the wrong size i learn that lol threaded the screwhead) then there should be 3 clips on it just give it a good tug and it should come off (no it wasnt meant to sound disgusting lol)
