Darren, jobs to do before we're ready for paint are as follows

 

High build and flat back arches and boot lid

Weld mounts on for the fog light

Think about the bonnet.

Thanks mate.

 

It needs a tiny bit more work around the lip to get it perfect, but it's getting there

No mate. we talked about it but i imagined it to be the sort of size like the rim of a mug?

 

Looks like it came out ok though!

 

Perhaps you could put up an overall shot of the bootlid so we can see properly where it is and how it looks?

I'll sort that tomorrow, but it's kind of diagonally up from the numberplate recess top left

Thanks Carl!

 

I see where you mean now. 

 

Really looks good!

 

I have an idea but it's too difficult to explain

I thought I'd "just" pop down to the garage before work and high build the arches and boot lid.

 

I de-greased everything, and the arches are fine, but the reaction on the boot lid was horrific.

 

Foolishly I decided to removed the paint with thinners before it dried and the whole thing is just a mess.

 

I haven't taken any pics of the boot lid as I'm too embarrassed. I think it'll take me a good while to sort but here are the arches with a guide coat of cadbury purple

Fog light looks great!

[Carlos W]

Fog light looks great!

 

Thanks, just a bit gutted about having to strip the boot lid.

 

Such is life
