THEN REMOVE EACH STRIP BY PULLING AND PUSHING SEVERAL TIMES WITH FORCE AND IT SHOULD POP OFF. FOR THE FRONT PULL TOWARDS THE REAR AND THE BACK STRIPS PULL TOWARDS THE FRONT.

Nice colour match.

Good guide though, so props for that.

PM me if you want me to move this thread to the guides section. The door handles are easy to remove should you not wish to spray it in situ!

I would highly recommend removing the door handles before spraying.

I would also apply a couple coats of clear coat.

 

[Reed67]

no paint touched any other paintwork

Is that the right colour for your car mate??

 

[Reed67]

I got it mixed at halfords with the same colour code...

Colour match isn't the best tbh mate.

What colour primer were you told to use?

 

[Reed67]
