matts xsi euro project

[samass]

Ah right fair nuff! Well, if matts in no rush, ace is easiest, else I can meet him half way or something

[Matt]

Well it's going to be a bloody wet week, so spending it wet sanding (best use for rain ever!) so won't be able to start paint till next wednesday!

[samass]

Ah ok, makes sense! Ace it is!

[kentiiboii]

Just to let you know what. Garden place bear me has 500ml spray cans for £2-2.50 a can and theyre very good when I did my car I did a can a panel worked out about 16 cans and paid just under £30 for cans plus sand paper and masking take and paper. If you ever want some picking up and boxing to be sent to you I can get them for you.

Edit: they have lacquer primer and gloss. Filler primer is a pound more though.

[Matt]

Any Matt white though?

[kentiiboii]

Yeah positive they have. I'll have a nip down Saturday and see for you. If you want me to pick some up let me know and give a list of what your after

[Matt]

Always good to get extras

[Matt]

[Matt]

lil update

[kingy]

want your wheels.

[samass]

awesome. like the close up of the texture, thats pretty much how i imagined it'd be! when you gunna get busy with the rattle cans?

[4WayDiablo]

Looks awesome in that white!

[Matt]

Cheers guys, well too half is rubbed down, just need to do everything below the rub strips. Rear bumper then wait for the rain to stop.

I've started to smooth another front bumper too, and have my new mirrors to paint and new smooth grill to paint, bought it all into work to do over the weekend

[mark_airey]

Good use of works time there........ I like it so whats your plans with the paint then?? flat it and then rattle can it matt again or just matt lacquer over the top?

[Matt]

Getting rid of the texture of the roller. It's looked cool from a distance but still looked cool. So rubbing it right down and spraying it with cans, only in some areas has it gone back to moonstone. It's smooth in most places, I'm hoping that this rattle can white will be similar to the roller white so I won't have to use much paint then im going to Matt lacquering it

[mark_airey]

Should look sweet when its done mate as long as it all gets a quick coat from the can then it will match fine, just make sure you get all of it

[Matt]

Hopefully getting it done before FCS, and if I have time the wheels will be going purple too

Can always do it at the campsite

[Matt]

I was actually thinking that, as a last resort I could finish it off on site lol

[Toby]

MTFU and get those pink bits back on.

[Matt]

Pink bits are going no where near it, ever again haha

[kentiiboii]

Well if you still want them cans grabbing ten let me know been trying to get down there but too crap weather.
