What do you think??

That looks really amazing mate. I really really like that colour. Once the wheels are white I think it will look great.

Thats a really good price aswell for a full paint job. I mite look into getting the rest of mine done I think.

tis a nice fresh paint job, did they have much rust to deal with?

dodo juice is a brand of cleaning/wax/detailing make, like meguiars

it's real good stuff, pricier, but you get what you pay for, F2_Ed has some, and has done awesome water beading shots

if funds let me, i would use their stuff, you need to learn to detail the car proper now (when you can wax it in 2-3months) and you will love the rewards

 

[Mat Lock]

Lovin the colour

 

[crezz]

what has the car been painted in? alot of that depends wether you can wax and or polish it or not... wax and polish are different things, ones cutting, the others sealing.. im sure poor boys do a wax for fresh paint, ment to use before it hits the elements outside

 

[suj]

yeah you can sam, but the painters always polish/seal them before letting them go, so say not to wax for first 2months minimum

there was a tiny bit of surface rust on the arches but were solid and also a rust spot the size of a 20p coin on the boot lid near the rear wiper, apart from that its was rust free.

you can tho bud, it has to be solvent free tho, so choose a water based wax, solvent based ones will get in and soften the paint, but agian its down to what its been painted with...2 pack paint cures via the amount of catalyst, but then solvent based paint usually are baked or left for a day or two, thats when you have to be sure what products your using

damn them arches, im trying to fund mine going into the body shop, majority of the money going towards the arches, the damn sea air down here really gives them shite all year! lol.. i cant find any replacement arches except whole rear quarters

 

[Dave_R]

ye cheep considering most places were around 12-1500 quid and apart from the couple tiny details that hes doin its quit impressive! im happy with it anyway! lol

loving the comments too thanx

Looks nice in the RS Green was thinking a different green when I had mine sprayed but love kiwi lol. Cheap to but sometimes you get what you pay (sorry) but looks lush in the photos!

Plus I reckon black rims with that colour green, seen a few Focus RS in the car park at work (I work in Fords, so plenty there) one with white the other with black rims and the black on looks sooooooo much better!

at the moment i like to use dodojuice lime prime (Richard should use the lite version on new paint), then poorboys EX sealant, then dodojuice rubbish boys wax.

unreal finish & protection


gives an example of the wet look reflection (bear in mind white is terrible for reflection)

 

[RichardMurkin]

yeah il be the first one to admit its not perfect lol, i am very picky though so maybe its just me

nooo dont say that lol! im stil undecide on black or white! just dont want it to look too chavvy! all the corsas, saxos and that round ywest yorkshire all seem to have black rims

 

[crezz]

white is the only way

 

[Dave_R]

Black! Sorry I've seen as RS with white rims and black...... black looks so much better and it will match up with the black splitter & side skirts!

 

[RichardMurkin]

was just going to say black will look better on the rs with the black spoiler and bigger skirts n splitters etc. I am having tints aswell so maybe the black will look better....

 

[Dave_R]

and I just noticed the bit of your grille sprayed black.... if you tinting your windows dont do all 5 (front sides) loks chavvy now was the thing to do about 3 years ago now it's sh!t lol.

New cars come with the rear 3 tinted and that looks classy so keep it like that I would

 

[RichardMurkin]

lol, i was thinkin lite blak tints all way round insted of the bak 3 jet black which seems to be the thing chavs do round here! wierd lol.

 

[vngtx]

ive just got the 2 rear sides done on mine and it doesnt look chavvy at all. its not just the number of windows but how tinted they are aswell.

 

[suj]

tints = w@nk IMHO

never liked them at all
