Strudul

Looking much better, but I'm no longer spraying in a well ventilated area, so I may just be high on the fumes. Does smell amazing though. Coat 3 dry: Coat 4 wet:

How long before your cars end up migrating inside the house and replacing the living room...

You can see how fergie might be confused, what with Celia being such a manly name

IKR... If only I had a spare £40k to throw at a car. Or £170k, then I could get the XKR-S GT....

Seems to be going much better this time. Got the technique and spraying distance down

Aye, Rust-Oleum Rubberised Peel Coat. Did look at newer stuff like Autodip, but didn't seem to be available in the UK. Nobody suggested anything else when i asked. Never heard of Ngenco before... looks good though. However, it recommends twice as many coats as Rust-Oleum / PlastiDip (8-10 rather than 4-5), so I'm assuming you'd have to buy twice as many cans? I got 6 cans for £25, Ngenco would require 12 cans at £106 (assuming the above is correct), which is more than 4x the price. Even if you only needed 6 cans it'd be double (£59). Of course, you get what you pay for, and I may consider it if / when I come round to redoing it or for my roof instead of a wrap.

Well the handle was beyond repair, so I picked it all off and restarted it. Emblems seem to have turned out alright, though it's too dark so i can't really see what I'm doing or inspect the quality... Looks like it still needs tidying up a bit.

Toyota badge is very thin and lumpy, so understandably awkward to wrap. Dip might have been a better option, though definitely nowhere near as fast... still doing layers 4 hours later.

Well the subtle difference would be that the other thread implies it is for mods and therefore doesn't allow posts about washing your car. If you are willing to overlook that and / or allow a wash to count as a mod, then I think you can go ahead and merge them...

Just a good clean and dry.

So would me driveway / garden not be private property unless I put a gate on it?

Dip city... Never sprayed before, never mind with dip. Testing on emblems and handles before I do my wheels. Doesn't look amazing at this stage, but hopefully it improves. If not, the good part is that I can just peel it off First layer: 3rd layer:

A little break from louvres, but a rather productive morning. Finally done the Bose line-in mod. Sounds a hundred times better than my crappy tape adaptor and there were only a few scary moments... Mine differed slightly from the guide (presumably due to the guide being for a pre-facelift), so there were a few steps that didn't apply as well as other bits to do that weren't mentioned. Routed the cable with a female socket on the end into the driver's side footwell behind the padded knee thing. When I got it off I found a load of fragments of yellow wrapper, and after seeing the rubber shift boot I thought someone had dropped a Cadbury Flake in there, but it turned out not to be chocolate. While I had the console off I thought I'd give the shift plate realignment a bash and see if It made any difference. The plate didn't seem particularly out of place, but I went ahead anyway. Not been for a drive, but it does seem a bit less notchy. Back to reassembling the centre console, it made all kinds of whirring noises when I was plugging the cables back into the unit and I thought it'd never stop. Didn't see any warnings about this in the guide. Then when it was all back together and I turned the ignition on it just said "wait" on the screen... so I waited... after 5 minutes I got bored and just started pressing buttons. CD player worked, but couldn't get the tape to work. Eventually realised I'd forgot to shove a pen in there to trick it. It now let me select the tape, but wasn't playing my music. Finally traced the problem to where I'd connected my aux cable to the 3.5mm socket and hadn't pushed it in all the way. Panic over and all working perfectly. A pheasant came to visit too...

Toyota?

F-Pace?

Porsche? Audi? Range Rover? From the clues I'm ruling out Lexus, Volvo, Jag, Merc, Bentley...

Yeah, on my driveway...

Haha, thought the same. 2 hours pissing about with a load of rusted undertray bolts and 10 mins actually changing the belts.

Yup
