valy Posted January 26, 2017 Author Posted January 26, 2017 (edited) Those wheels on this colour body are gonna be sensational! haha well kind of... because this is not the final colour is just the black primer....thought about having it gloss black though at one point...might be back to it if the purple doesn't turn out the way it should...wheels also might get a different coat but I'll see how everything looks once this next task is completed Edited January 26, 2017 by valy Quote

14N Posted January 26, 2017 Posted January 26, 2017 I'm really really impressed with your work and progress dude, but I gotta ask, sorry, but I gotta.... Why not just remove the rear lights instead of masking them and unscrew the aerial? 2 Quote
valy Posted January 26, 2017 Author Posted January 26, 2017 I'm really really impressed with your work and progress dude, but I gotta ask, sorry, but I gotta.... Why not just remove the rear lights instead of masking them and unscrew the aerial? no need for taking them off,simple enough to mask the rear lights and still get the same outcome with dipping ....on the tack coats I have also insisted on the joins so should all be just fine and the aerial I left in place as I am covering the base ring 1 Quote

valy Posted February 1, 2017 Author Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) soooo....what has been going on since my last update well...I wasn't happy after the base coat with some of the small finishes and decided I will keep the car only with the base dip , drive it to make sure there are no rattles etc....at least until my remap and also get a few other bits sorted and I got the Torqen undertray fitted (very pleased with it!) and also I have extended and sealed my front mud guard arches now did I just ordered one of these kits? YES I did and it has been delivered the next day brand new Air-lift 3P combo kit for my rocket bunny Zed this means the colour will have to wait a bit longer before all modifications are done hopefully the shopping stops soon Edited February 1, 2017 by valy 2 Quote
