I lead such a very exciting life!!!!

Opinions?

And yes the car is filthy! I am going to treat it to a valet next Saturday when I get my new Wheels!

I'd just dragged him out from inside the car so he was sulking.

My neighbour drove 5 miles down the road before realising he was in the back of his van the other day!

looks good mate. What paint did you use and did you prime it first?

**mikouk** · Saturday 4th April 2009, 19:41

Yep I used spray primer first. Built it up with four layers over an hour. Then left it for 24 hours then did the same with black spray. The actual paint I used was just off the shelf in my local Car place. I can't remember the name. I will try to remember to have a look tomorrow.

Cheers

Did the paint peel/chip off last time ? Is that the reason you re-painted it ? Still want mine black, but prefer the chrome surround I think.

Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, but what paint did you use ?

Hi chris

I still can't remember the name of the paint and keep forgetting to look but it was just of the shelf in my local car hardware shop. And yes the paint was chipping off. I think it always will as it's in such a vunerable place. It doesn't take long to do though.
