oem+ lcr - THERE HEREEEEEEE

[Dannyh]

Good work so far mate she will look "FRESH" with a new coat of paint, do you refurb wheels as well as paint???

 

[jake]

as a company we out source wheels now, too expensive to compete, i do my own though as im tight ahah

decided against doing the pearl as the shuts wouldnt match,

this aft i prepped the car and got the other little bits taken, then degreased followed by masking,

here the car is in the booth,

then i applied a white ground coat,

the yellow is super opaque, in the end it took 3 litres of colour to cover everything, in the booth the colour looks very pale/green due to the lights, i was actually worried a little, a spray out car elivated my fears though.

after the base,

[Ibizaκιας]

looks perfect!!!! when you finish it is it possible to make some closser photos?

 

[Van Man]

wow, colour on this looks amazing. so fresh

 

[s1mon]

looking good,love this colour

 

[jake]

Certainly how many mm away would you like pictures.

The car will stay gun finish for around a month then will get blocked flat with 2000 wet and dry followed by 3000 trizact and the 3m perfect it plus range.

Thinking anthracite for the wheels at the moment.

New suspension and Bmc are here now too and thinking of crackle black manifold and charge pipe.

 

[Ibizaκιας]

i dont know.. i just want to see the colour in a closer photo..

 

[big eck]

Christ you got well stuck into this fast lol. Looks superb tho, looks like yellow liquid lol.

How much do you charge for a full respray???

 

[jake]

All really depends upon the condition of the car. To do what I have done to mine would be about £1000. To go more into it with loads of repairs and glass out takes more.

I'm taking my dslr to work tomoz as we have just finished a mini rose. Will take some pics

looking to get one of those bmc filter's,let me know what you think of it when it's fitted.

 

[jake]

Will do a fresh log when fitted and see if it flows better than the carbon dynamics box.

ok cheers,i have a large k&n cone fitted at the moment just wanted to know if it's any better.

 

[Dannyh]

The ITG 80mm foam filter flows best fact

 

[RDS]

Foam filters are not the best at filtering! over time dirt will be pulled through the foam.

 

[jake]

99% nearly done,

just mirror caps and sills to go on, everything is now clean, all cleaned as it was built back up

shockingly bad phone pics

[Ibizaκιας]

i love it!!!

 

[jake]

will get better pics tomorrow, once built up....debating to give it one last blast and do the suspension in the morning then its all done.

 

[Ibizaκιας]

you are really fast!!!!! mine i had to leave it two weeks to get it ready....

 

[jake]

Tbh it all really depends on the car, mine had very few dents or chips. Just colour fade. Vw's in general strip easy parts wise too.

If we're doing a colour change the it's alot more labour intensive. Remeber the vids of the white Leon I painted? That had over 60 hrs spent on it.
