right as i said in the last update the paint didnt finish too well on top of the bonnet because of all the shit in the air !
so this evening i got timbo on the case ! he flatted it all with 1200grit paper and soapy water ! then buffed it all back up with some g10 polish ?!?!
well it came up lovely !!
the paint is a touch more orangey then the original colour but i cant expect it to be spot on with 13 year old body work !
and im sure when it ages a bit it'll be alright
heres all the pics for tonight !
old bonnet off !! yesssss ! lol
new bonnet on !
then popped the escos grill in ! just need to get a new ford badge and make a couple of brackets
then got all the under bonnet bits back on !
and the near on final product !
really happy with how it came out !
hopefully the paint wont be too noticable in the lsun light it shouldnt be bad
what ya think ?
