Re: my rio verde project
So today found the old tin of rio Verde that the paint shop made wrong and realized i spray the back door with it not realising rooky mistake yeah. So with no funds atm started to get rid of it on the door cus it sticks out like a sore thumb so heres a pic of how it looks after spending a hour and half with a scraper so will take the rest off tomoz and g3 it back to original colour and re lacquer it until after pvs it wont be perfect but better than the wrong colour
