  3. hey guy's, we have been trying to arrange an upsolute group buy over this last week, but simon was away. i spoke to him this morning and we have sorted a few details out.

THE LIST: if we make a list of people who want to have the remap done then we know numbers, n=other people are welcome, but only put your name down if you having the remap as then it doesn't complicate things, please pm me with your email address so we can sort other things out. jakewalsh gti1990 crouchies
  4. im not saying you do, but you can still run the risk, the thing with wet on wet, obviously it depends upon the paint you use, that after time the base can sink into the under coats and can scratch, tbh the only colour you will see it on is a silver, with water base, they reccomend that you flat with no lower that 500 grit discs or 800 wet and dry. every ones different. end of the day they put the coating on, wether you call it electrostatic/cathodic/or dipped primer on the new panel to prevent rust, it does not need removing, just a good key. jake
  5. yeah it needs keying, but if you use 320's you run the risk of seeing scratches in the base coat, esp if its a silver.
  6. nope, aslong as it is given a good key its fine. i believe its called cathodic primer, v dubs is especially thick and resistant, it gives a good corrosion protection base, the next steps to the wing would be a primer surfacer then colour then laquer. jake
  7. you dont have to be a god sprayer, you have to be a good colour matcher ha ha style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> from an insurance ponit of view though, they would not let you blend a red panel, as it is a solid.
  8. most large places have mixing scemes installed, these contain all the pigments to make every colour bar a few, so colour should never be a problem, also be wary of anyone who asks for cash up front, jake
  9. hey, laquer flake occurs when a bad job has already been done, it is more common with badly applied water based paints, however if the panel work has not been prepped efficiently or has been left over 24hr between base coat and top coat(laquer) this can also happen. price should be dependant on colour really. if its a solid you can get away with doing just the bumper and bonnet, if your a met or pearl then your going to have to blend the colour into the wings, this just gives you the best chance of not seeing a slight colour differences. if like you say the bonnet is flaking, the old laquer will need to be removed, then possibly primed. same with the bumper, if there are stone chips they get primed to then they both look like new, prices for this would be: paint & materials £180 labour £25 met/pearl add £90 for both wings to be blended. just make sure you sample there work or go of someones reccomendation, also ask what paint they use and if it has warrenty. we have to supply a life time warrenty with ours jake
  10. remove the rear bumper, to see the damage, then you need a jig, or something to attach a chain to tis area and give it a pull, only way really, try a skip. more of a bodyshop thing really.
  11. no its a uk car, just has a different grill, power wise i dunno, it must be factory standard, as it has no engine mods, not even a filter, it does have the scooby sport back box though, gives it a nice burble. style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />
  12. hey guys had to wait a bit for it, but full service history and very clean border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" alt="" /> jake
  13. if you want good bang for your buck, exile are a good company, they are made by a group of pheonix gold workers who decided to go there own way.
