Marts lude - Accident Damage Repair

Post by mart609 » Mon May 27, 2013 2:01 pm

Some of you may have seen in the other thread that I was hit in a car park a week or 2 back.
Image
Image
Got my new headlight and booked in with @RattyMcClelland
So 1st thing was get the bumper off.
Image
Image

Indicators came out fine, but on both of the fogs one of the screws for the bezels had rusted completely had needed to be drilled out.

While ratty prepped the bumper, I made a start on swapping the headlight over.
Image

Old light out
Image

New light in
Image

Primer
Image
Image

Had to mix up several colour variants to find the closest match. The left overs were used as basecoats.

Basecoat
Image
Image

Final Coat
Image

Lacquer
Image

Bumper all lacquered up
Image

Heatlamps curing
Image

Bumper back on and wetsanded and DA'd
Image

Polish
Image

And a final super polish
Image

Finally all back together looking good as new
