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

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

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 :thumbs:

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?

Should be alright just do it as slow as possible to prevent the paint from going on the wheel

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.
