2.0Si Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 Please... I would like photoshopped: - The side strips painted the same colour as the car- Smoked Side Repeaters- All the windows tinted dark- The strip above the number plate colour coded- Lowered a little bit more so its even all round and the tyres are arches are about an inch from the tyres.- smoked headlights cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluliz Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 as for the colour coding and smoked reps, just do it oh and get the number plate light done at the same time, and a spare towing eye cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2.0Si Posted September 25, 2006 Author Share Posted September 25, 2006 I dont get how you do the strips? If you pull them off the car, there gonna bend really easy and be out of shape, if you paint them on the car its bound to go wrong? How did you do it ?

2.0Si Posted September 25, 2006 Author Share Posted September 25, 2006 Ah nice one, didnt see you had removed the lock too, nice touch How much did the bodyshop charge you do paint your little bits? Also might try doing them with cans, if i do the prep work right they should come out okay, i mean look at the centre caps i did on the black rims ! mint job and that was rushed, if i took my time in sanding and getting the prep and the primer coat smooth...

bluliz Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 (edited) Ah nice one, didnt see you had removed the lock too, nice touch How much did the bodyshop charge you do paint your little bits? erm no idea. its had 2 stages of work. 1, gti front and goona with door handles, side strips and smoked rear lights.2, skirts, rear bumper and boot handle. also wheels. i get my work done by my local ford garage so its more anyway. but at least i dont have to wait lol. it went in the the monday before Ford Fair for stage 2. and i had it back and washed on wednesday evening. you can get a good match with a rattle can, as long as you know what you are doing, preping is everything, and the right grit paper is very important. grap a plastic bit of car from a scrappy and practice, ie a boot strip and a door strip to practice on. if your happy you can do it then...... Do it lol Halfords sometime do a 3 for 2 on rattle cans. plastic primer, colour, lauqer for a tenner. i'm sure other people will recommend a different brand of paint tho if you practice and decide you cant paint for toffee.....all you have wasted is £20 on paints etc, a sunday afternoon that you would have spent in the pub, and you have gained an interesting colour pair of hands Edited September 25, 2006 by bluliz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
