bit bored yesterday never did like that grey van looking grille so decided to have a go at colour coding, dont think it came out too shabby for an aerosol (thanks halfords) the pearlesent really sparkles in the sunshine too...

 

Wow, looks nice. So you did this by hand spray?

 

Your work looks good in the photo. Sure changes the look of your car.

 

thanks very much, yes good old aerosol...gave it a good flat down then three coats of red plastic primer leave overnight flat down with 1200 wet & dry, 3 coats of the basecoat which i might add was mixed by a nice lady in halfords. (a lot of people slag off halfords in the uk but credit where its due) then three coats of laquer which i put on really wet almost to the point of running and must admit the colour match surprised me how close it was...

 

Looks good xfchris. You would make a good paint sprayer

Cheers
Jon

oops dont know how that happened... ...how do you delete a post anyway....

 

Nice job Chris, just shows when you take your time you can get great results. Really looks great!

 

Looks good. I like how it pulls the hood lines down into the grill.
