Blend phantom grey. Mix up some lacquer and add the blue flakes. Apply 2 coats of lacquer over the phantom grey you just sprayed making the 2nd coat wider than the1st. Then 2 coats of normal lacquer across the whole panel.

It's possible to do.

Though looking at this pic newkid, it looks like the rust has been evident for a while :?

More parts

Post by newkid » Fri Aug 28, 2015 3:26 pm

Received a few more parts in the post and still have a few more to come yet.

First up, repair panel for passenger side, thanks to @judderod for getting this to me, all be it via my old babysitter! Was delivered to hers instead of mine but thanks to her remembering my name she let me know it was there.

Image

Next up is a ukdm length decat, needed to be a ukdm as the catback I have is made for uk length cats, cheers to @wurlycorner for this. PM your details bud and I'll pay what I'm due to you.

Image

Next is an in-car antenna as I really miss having the radio, how good these are is a mystery but guess I'll soon find out

Image

Got another few packages I'm waiting on so the works list for the 4th gen is getting even bigger so I really need to start getting motivated and fitting/changing parts.

Glad it turned up ok.
:? Is that exactly how the packaging looked on arrival though? It was packed with the foamy stuff at the bottom, then the decat, then the expanded polystyrene at the top!
