[Kimmie]

Now that Ruan has 'come out' I can add a couple more...

[Dan!]

Bahah, I was going to say when you first put the thread up, how did Ruan get there?

[Grant]

Kim you need to get a project thread going!!!
I couldnt find anywhere else to put this so here seemed the best, as its one of few places containing your car....


Sneak Peak






























Excuse the shit photo

[Matt]

[Grant]

I know, I shouldn't have done them with a roller looking back at it....

[Scott]

Hero.

[Matt]

I know, I shouldn't have done them with a roller looking back at it....

Still looked good








From a distance

[Grant]

Have you got any pictures up yet of it now its redone, i saw the ones on your blog, but any closeups?
Love a white 306

[Niall]

That colour looks familiar. I assume there's none of my paint left to repair my wheels?

[Grant]

Your paint is where you left it. In the can, in my garage.
Chill winston!

[Matt]

Well you will see it Saturday if your coming down, also pictures are gunna go up tomorrow, hopefully with my smoothed front bumper on

[Grant]

Yeah, was gonna come sat and sunday. If I'm welcome. Need to ring scott/ed to work out times etc

[Niall]

I'll be down sat afternoon. Not in the 306 unfortunately as it won't have a mot

[Matt]

I'll be there on Saturday. But got work on Sunday

[Kimmie]

We're only there Saturday as we've got to be in London on Sunday.

But OMG Grant I love you!! They look epic just from that photo :romance-inlove:

I do have a project thread, it's called 'Kim's 6'

[Grant]

Oh I didnt see that. My bad.

Is the plan still to puff over them with the purple lightly?

[Kimmie]

If it can be done then yes please!

[Grant]

Ooooh I dunno. I'll see what I can do....

Lol yeah no probs, I'll get on it tomorrow.

[mark_airey]

With kims wheels can I suggest putting some of this - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DEEP-PURPLE-m ... 19c9c5b4e1 - in the first couple of coats of lacquer if your using a spray gun.............

[Grant]

As epic as that is mark, im afraid im using rattle cans...

[mark_airey]

booooooooo......................that would have give an awesome but subtle purple glint when the sun catches them!

[cwspellowe]

Dust it over the wheels before clear coating. Job done!

[samass]

dust it over while the lacquer is still wet?
or is this a bad idea?

[Kimmie]

He's doing them with the Ford Purple Velvet to match the rest of the car

[Grant]

Bad idea samass. It'll just be better to do it with the paint, like kim says. Avoid disaster lol.

[samass]

damn. had an inkling it might have been! just out of curiosity, why's it bad?

[Grant]

Sprinkling glitter in the lacquer will cause an uneven finish, thus making it hard to flat and polish. Sprinkling it onto the wheel before lacquering, and it will blow away. Mixing it into the lacquer means it is coated in lacquer and mixed in, and can be flatted back without exposing the glitter.

I suppose you could sprinkle it onto the top coat, whilst it is still tacky, before lacquering. Have never tried it. Imagine slipping and having a shit load of glitter in one spot though! haha

Ive got the purple paint though, so would be daft to not use that seeing as its there...

[samass]

nah i meant to spray the purple onto the silver when the lacquer is still wet... so its like silver with purple fleck, but isnt really fleck... would that work? or is my mind failing me once again?

[Grant]

That's what I'm doing. Gonna puff over the wheel lightly with the purple paint. Or have I missed your point again? Lol

[samass]

think thats what i mean... like just 'dust' it over with the purple spray paint, on top of silver wheel, into wet lacquer...
damn im confusing myself now!
