SAFC99 Posted April 27, 2008 Author Posted April 27, 2008 Yes thats where ive ordered the paint from, just waiting for a non rainy day (rare in Sunderland) to do the bumper! Quote
GIXXERUK Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 Yes thats where ive ordered the paint from, just waiting for a non rainy day (rare in Sunderland) to do the bumper! grab a brolly and get out there Quote
bugglet Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 I'd be very interested in knowing how well this stuff works. Don't forget the camera when you're digging out the brolly! Quote
Chris`I Posted April 28, 2008 Posted April 28, 2008 Yes thats where ive ordered the paint from, just waiting for a non rainy day (rare in Sunderland) to do the bumper! I hear ESR have a nice big garage they could let you, couldnt you Phil? Pweeeease?! Quote
SAFC99 Posted May 1, 2008 Author Posted May 1, 2008 Here is pics of bonnet with chips filled with the touch up IMG]http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk180/safc99/CIMG0110-1.jpg[/img] And after job was done, there is still the odd chip visable but another go when my back and arm recover should sort it out.

SAFC99 Posted May 1, 2008 Author Posted May 1, 2008 Will be almost perfect after another application Quote
bigphil Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 Will be almost perfect after another application be very interested to see the results in the flesh, pop in if you get the chance. Quote

Let us know what they look like from different angles. The main gripe I had with the attempt I made with a touchup pen and Langka was that from one angle it was spot on but from others it was miles darker. I hear that this is an inherant problem of metalics, esp silver, but this kit is meant to be specially formulated to avoid this Quote
jim Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 Looks like this kit gives good results, but it's a pity to have to order it from the States. Can you get it over here? Quote
bigphil Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 Looks like this kit gives good results, but it's a pity to have to order it from the States. Can you get it over here? if the results are good we may order a few kits in. Quote

My front bumper is peppered with tiny chip marks. Quote
Stew Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 I've had work done so no stonechips this week........ I'd have one of these kits though. Quote
Toon Chris Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 +1 My front end is very freckled, anything decent is worth a try. Quote
SAFC99 Posted May 2, 2008 Author Posted May 2, 2008 It tool me 4 hours to do the bonnet, and still nees another go, havent started the bumper yet, i think i would have been better off putting a weekend of overtime in at work and pay some one to do it with the money, it really is hard work and takes 2 applications! My arms and back is killing today! Quote
Kennydies Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 My paint arrived today, hope I get some time to test this weekend.... Will post before and after pics.. Quote
SAFC99 Posted May 8, 2008 Author Posted May 8, 2008 i am going for second coat this weekend, i ve also noticed that the colour match is perfect since its been on a week. Quote
