Anthonyd Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 (edited) After deciding there wasn't enough time to do the colour change before Japfest I decided to just get the bumpers done and the dent in the quarter panel as it was quicker. We it seems to have led to the the spoiler, which mean tailgate and the painter didn't like the other small dents near the petrol cap so the other quarter is done to!! :scared: Still have the water leak to fix, wheels to paint and the interior to fit in 2 1/2 days, aaargh!

leo-r32gts Posted May 11, 2011 Posted May 11, 2011 Best get cracking bud! Looking good though, liking the high level wing. The front looks very low! Good luck to ya Quote
groover Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 Did they use a sealer on the bumper before primer? if not crazing and stress marks will appear not long after the paint has dried, ive had a mare with mine. Looking good though. Quote
Pablito Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 looks great mate, I should have kept that bumper now i see how nice it will look :cry: I am looking forward to seeing the finished article. :thumbup1: Quote

Looking good though. No, and they came in this morning to find it all cracked!! Had to start again Quote
Pablito Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 No, and they came in this morning to find it all cracked!! Had to start again grrr, not cool mate, looks as if Japfest is becoming more and more unatainable i guess? At least, by starting again, it will all be done properly. Quote
groover Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 No, and they came in this morning to find it all cracked!! Had to start again Let me guess! top of the rear bumper? Quote
Anthonyd Posted May 12, 2011 Author Posted May 12, 2011 Let me guess! top of the rear bumper? Yup! Quote
groover Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 Yup! I got the same problem and sprayed it several times with high build primer until i was told it has to be sealed or it will just keep appearing. Its some sort of barrier sealer, cant remember the name, but needs to be done or you will be chasing the cracks for ever and a day. Quote
Rev1Richie Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 Ant, can i ask what type of paint/lacquer combination you are using (1pk/2pk etc) thanks Quote
Anthonyd Posted May 12, 2011 Author Posted May 12, 2011 Ant, can i ask what type of paint/lacquer combination you are using (1pk/2pk etc) thanks I'll check tomorrow and let you know as he had such a mare I really can't remember tonight lol. I do know it has 4 coats of lacquer! Quote
groover Posted May 12, 2011 Posted May 12, 2011 Its not 2pk then as it wont need laquer and also if the guy uses 2pk he should really be in an air fed mask, suited up in a spray booth, but some people you never know lol. Quote
