richy paints again

[richy22]

Decided to try a different colour on the Monaco today

Before....

NOW

My spraying skills are improving! Although my cup spoiler needs attention as the lacquer went a bit "pitty"

The bullets are my spare set so can easily go back if they dont look right when on the car. Diamond is easy to spray anyway.

Im a bit undecided at the mo!

 

[iyrix]

i like before.. still cool though!

What colour is it?? Your Photo Skills now need some work Fella

Best pic I have so far! Havent been out in the sport what with having the megane this weekend

You going to put any Laqcuer on that Spoiler??

 

[db]

Looking good fella... bet it looks awesome in the flesh.
Good work with the painting, I'm doing mine at the minute (slowly).

There is already! For some reason it looks pitty. I think coz i didnt do the top coat in thick coats? Or maybe i need to go thicker with the lacquer?? Il be getting it done properly after easter. And i need shorter struts!

 

[Coby.]

I'd have done 3-4 lights coats and 1 or 2 heavy coats of Laqcuer..... Try a light wet sanding every now and then to smooth the finish..... Serious SRP buffing can work wonders aswell.

^ same, i spent fooking ages doing the lacquer on mine, still not perfect though, will be re-doing mine at some point.

Look good though rich, what colour are your track wheels? fiat broom yellow??

 

[VeinAST]

Have you polished your spoiler yet rich? Might need a goot bif of SRP and elbow grease

 

[Gaz_]

PC that and it'll come up reet i'm sure!!!

 

[shadowsun]

Hey I really like that badge colour etc... can imagine it will look nice with the blue

 

[Jamie]

Prefer before tbh.

That paint must be very thick.

Now that is an idea!! lol No just black with a red trim.. They were off here although once i finally fit them I "might" change them to white... I want to paint them before our track day but I wont have time

Very thick?

 

[Jamie]

Takes few coats.

Covers well.

 

[GarethM]

nice rich

 

[Leeshez]

nice

 

[richy22]

Managed to fit the diamond before driving to work..couldn't be arsed to do the bullets! (Yes my car is filthy at the moment!) Think I prefer white but Meh I like to be different!

Im thinking pink next lol

And managed to take a couple better but crap pics of the spoiler

Rear Diamond is coming off next to be sprayed Monaco I think. And then maybe the rear Clio badge in yellow too.

Make your Bloody Mind up Boy.....Mustard Badge is a bit ummm I don't know TBH

Get that Spoiler heavily polished and you may not need to laqcuer it anymore

 

[bendee]

Yeah im the same... still it might grow on me! Gonna polish it up in the next few days hopefully. Ideally i should of got it done professionally as my painting skills seem to be limited to small areas!

 

[Coby.]

Is it a decent even coverage?...... If yes get over to Darens to Rub it in his face and also ask him to run his G220 over it a few times
