Having a bit of a bad day today 
I have had to have the bonnet vents (too much stuff in the paint to polish out), petrol cap (again poo in the paint and polished through next to barrel), mirror heads (paint peeling off) and grille (polished through paint next to Ford logo) re painted but have just found out that the front bumper now needs re doing too as there is lots of micro blistering on the one side caused by water under the paint. One step forward two steps back!

Ok, back on track with the thread....
A new bulk pack of sound deadening has landed, If I run out this time there is no way I'm buying more! I have weighed a pack and it weighs in at 18kg so if I use both packs the car will weigh in at 36kg heavier, if the car is quieter then that will be a small price to pay

New side repeater landed from an Irish Ford dealership this morning 
I now have a new pair. I originally thought they were the same as Escorts but although the look similar the holes in the wing are totally different.
I have to say that Ford's parts stock for these cars is nothing short of horrendous, when I did my BMW every part I asked for was available and not at a premium price either.

realy gutted tyo hear this martin its a bit of a shitter but the blisters aint down to watter thatr im sure of it is down to the fact that it has solvent trapped in the paint from previous coats and the reason it is only on plastics is that the heat difference between them and the plastics if these aint been redone yet then get them to paint them but not bake it let it cure on its own
what people on this thread dont realise isd its actually been painted 3 times and that is the majority of why it took so long
the first time it was painted the paint suplied would not pollish back up after being flatted and that wasnt down to me at all but i had to cover the cost of this and the next lot of paint and materials to do it again
the second time it wasnt quite up to scratch and it needed a few bits redone so i decided to do the whole thing again this is when it sat for quite a while without getting touched ffor one reason and one reason only that the previous coats of paint would not be fully cured but even the length of time it was left has not done its job and this has caused the blistering
now i do beleave its down to me to sort and im more than willing to do so but martin has chossen to use some one else and that is his choice and i dont knock him for ether way he decided this and i dont want to fall out with him in anny way over this but what all the slatting people on here dont know is this car has now left me about 3k out of pocket due to doing extra work me paying to have it picked up and delivered back to him plus painting it 3 times

Sorry for all this grief
We had a good look at the blistering and it does appear to be water (or something) under the last coat of paint, I can actually move a blister about using the edge of my nail.Just so you know, the reason why I didn't get the rectification work done by yourself was due to the distance between us .... If you were local I would have got you to sort it.
Cheers,
Martin.
