Default Mouldings & Spraying

My Focus just went into the paintshop this morning I am gutted to be without her. Any1 colour coded the side panels and bumper strips b4? I am getting everything sprayed silver (I have a 1.8 16v Zetec 52 Plate) and i am spraying it all to match the ST170's, shud look sweet when finished but wot a job it was sanding down the mouldings and strips! i have no finger prints left. but better than paying the ridiculous money Ford charge. will post some pics when finished. Also getting RS replica spoiler, hella rear light clusters and front morette conversions and will be sitting on 18 inch Boss XL 300's lowered by 35 cant wait. any1 got pics of there modded Focus's for my collection? much appreciated.

You can by the St primed strips but they are double the price of the black ones, I have had 2 cars done now and one came out excellent the other was really bad.

looks good mate! did you rub them down urself? mine is in the spray shop now, i am just praying it comes out good. i got them down to a really good smooth finish. took me hours and i lost my finger nails and prints. the primed mouldings prices are scandalous. did you get the focus in the picture sprayed? where did u pick up the fog lamps? i will post a pic of when its finished.

the side bump strips are stuck on with guide holes so u cant just remove them, there is holes underneath! i think the front and rear ones on the bumpers are held on with clips, and leave holes as well!
