Get all mine mixed at sps paint suplies in northampton black magic base and clear lacquer have a look in local yellow pages there will be a trade place like autopaint international and they will all do can's

 

[lukey]

is it the metallic or flat black magic?

i wanted to do the chrome ring on the front grille aswell, go all black stealth

will come as a flat black magic base paint which you the over paint with the clear coat so about 2 coats of base and four of clear

have been thinking about doing the front aswell going to black it out with tape first and see what it looks like

 

[Mr Max]

dare i say it, but your local helfrauds should be able to mix paint also.

 

[lukey]

if you do the mock up of the front, do a pic so i can see what its like please mate

 

[simon34]

Will do matey

interesting choice of colour mate!! id of personalyl gone for red!!

only kidding, should look good when its done. when do you think it will be finished?

 

[evo2345]

Looking good mate, should look really smart when finished

 

[Ad Lav]

I have had some fuuny looks from family members/neighbours etc, girlfriend seems to think it looks ok!

It's being sprayed next sunday(28th).

 

[Cupra_Jay]

are you doing all the work yourself??

id be worried about getting paint on the rest of the boot or mucking it up, which would probably happen if i did do it!!

 

[Ad Lav]

No way! Guy in photo is best mate so he is doing it!

He's an audio fitter by trade and does bodywork/spraying in his 'free time'

We're doing the new bumper too so whole rear end is being sprayed!!

 

[Cupra_Jay]

sounds like a good bloke to have as a mate!!

is the bumper going to be finished the same time as the boot?

 

[Ad Lav]

Yup, painting both on same day, should look sweet when it's done!

 

[rashcupra]

your not just painting that square are you also how are you going about the rubber seal that runns along the bottom of the window wanna get that dead on or it will start criping away there??? should look good tho mate

 

[Ad Lav]

We're spraying the whole boot, right up to the edges and that rubber seal is coming out during spraying, the grey bit basically covered up the scratched metal so it didn't rust, it's only square as I wanted it to look neat!
