Did you say you are doing a respray anyway? Can't believe it has been painted so shitly didn't think anyone was that stupid.
hopfully thats the plan yes, this white paint is so flakey so taking it off to get down to good base.
can see if anything is hidden under that white paint too.
You will probably have to I doubt you could get the blue looking nice if it's had that s**t all over it.
Out of interest how is the thinners getting the white off, and not the blue?
Respect you for this challenge as well, I thought you meant sport bumpers and SP crap project
well the smooth door locks, smoothed aerial will have filler around them so paint will be naff round them i would think, dunno,
i dunno the white comes off so easy with the thinner on, no effort once it gets going. then i just wash it down to get all the residue off.
next door has some in his garage so we tried it.
Ah fair enough, looks rough as hell. Who would even attempt to do that with such little knowledge
im a bit iffy with paint work / body work etc will have help,
but the maniacal side im ok with that so far
Not you mate I know you will do a good job talking about the person who did it before, I've seen better at the scrappy Last edited by Harry on Mon Mar 21, 2011 5:53 pm; edited 1 time in total

the bit on front were aerial should be is filler where its been filled.

true have been thinking about the filler, will get the rest of the car done then investigate, see if any other filler is covered up.
yer the thinner melted the gloves i was wearing

matt
true door locks have just filler in them, and boot has expanding foam.
#55: Re: Northantsben's xs project, (pic heavy) Author: Teebag, Location: exhall, bedworth, coventryPosted: Wed Mar 23, 2011 3:27 pm ---- boots a fibreglass panel then...... expanding foam to fill the void is ok. door locks idealy want welding up. ariel hole wants welding up. perfect world the boot wants welding smooth aswell.... all can be done using fibreglass and filler, but just filler is a no no.
#56: Re: Northantsben's xs project, (pic heavy) Author: NorthantsBen, Location: Raunds, NorthamptonshirePosted: Wed Mar 23, 2011 4:08 pm ---- yer could be and probably is i will strip boot tomoro see what it is,
welding for all the stuff i have planned anyway, best way imo,
