I bought an old Renault Clio last year that was white apart from one cream door that must have been replaced at some point.  Cos the car only cost me £142 I decided to tackle it, cos it wouldnt matter so much if I messed it up.

I did all the prep work, undercoats, paint layers and lacquer coats out in the car park of my office one weekend.  Considering the environment (dry weather, bit of dust whipped up by the ligth breeze, flies everywhere etc) I didnt do a half bad job.

This security guard came over to see what I was doing and the fact I was aerosol canning a car door but actually getting a decent finish he thought I was some sort of god.  I even newspaper masked off the front end of the car making me look like a proper pro. :D

maybe he thought you'd sprayed the whole car and were just finishing it off  :LolLolLolLol:

bobafett:
Yeah those plastikoted crank arms look good fraz - did ya have to do many coats ? and did you use a primer first ?

firebird4130:
I sanded down the original black powder coat on the cranks so it was flat and non glossy, 1 coat of primer and two coats of plastikote  :daumenhoch:

bobafett:
Very nice mate - and may i ask what primer did we choose  :-\
