tidykart Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 SORRY IF THIS IS IN THE WRONG SECTION. I was checking out the 'Show us your motor' section and I was looking at the work 'temper' did on his escort- he sprayed the annoying black bits silver. I was intending to spray my door handles and the lip above the boot, but I don't know what spray to use that one, will not wash off as soon as rain hits it- and two gives a metallic or mirror effect? The problem is my baby (escort GTi) is metallic black, so the spray can't be dull, if anyone has any suggestions I would be very grateful. (I have e-mailed 'temper' but would appreciate other members suggestions) Cheers, got some pics coming soon of her- got a phatt ICE system going in, that will go with my screen and DVD player, and I got some body mods coming soon too GET IN THERE!!!

I am getting a bad boy bonnet done on my baby- just like yours I actually used a pic of your car to show the bloke what I wanted the bonnet on my car to look like? Can you remeber exactly what shop it was, I asked them how much it would cost for them to srpay the handles and boot lip and I thought sod it I'll do it myself? How many coats did you use?
