Re: My second Corsa B
Haha it's not usually that bad, in one night 5 cars were robbed in the area by taking the keys. The worst part was I passed my test the same week and got to drive a new insignia at age 17 lol but then couldn't

Re: My second Corsa B
Yeah found some for £10 then found out the bolts already on my bumper had rounded off so had to grind them off haha. Second coat is on, looking brighter but still a bit of the metal showing through. Maybe another 2 coats yet

Re: My second Corsa B
When im doing it i put one very light coat on and when it goes tacy put 2 full coats on, the light coat just helps the full coat set
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway

Re: My second Corsa B
If I leave the last coat half a hour and put the wheel on, will it be ok turning the car around as I can't get to the other side?

Re: My second Corsa B
Should be alright just do it as slow as possible to prevent the paint from going on the wheel

Re: My second Corsa B
That's calipers done. Not as good as I wanted but it's already pitch black so wheel going back on after 3 coats but still a fairly good job. Next thing is a spoiler, in no rush as a like the no spoiler look but regretting not taking it off my old corsa.

Re: My second Corsa B
Was thinking about it cos only used like a quarter of that paint but not really a big fan of painted drums.
