sprayed my escort mk4 boot today. Had rust where the spare tyre sits, due to water leakage! dont have before pictures, but had to smoothen the rust with grinder!




















its not bad, seeing that its my first time in a boot, I only sprayed a bonnet twice!

its had some 'dust' on it. would you recommend that I sand it down with 2500 and than polish it, or leave it as it is??

 

Top work that looks like a good job.

 

me like!!!

 

thankx for the good comment guys! so should I leave it like that and leave the 'dust', there is a bit in the sapre wheel well. but seeing that there is going to be the wheel and carpet, maybe ill leave it as it is!

tomorrow going to paint that lock, and buy new packing.

 

Nice job, more 5 door Escorts getting sorted the better

 

looking good mate

 

thankx, yeah I love it mate, will sort her out bit by bit

thankx mate

so should i just leave it as it is? and not mope it

 

Did you sort the engine out yet? Would look good with it slammed on some nice rims, more stock looking.

 

Would just leave it as is mate. What i would be more concerned about is who let you spray with just a charcoal filter mask on. They never heard of isocyanate poisoning and occupational asthma ? Not having a dig as you might not have known as im guessing you an apprentice as you look young in the pictures but can be very dangerous and can sensatise you at any age then it will be a short career as even aerosols will leave you breathless.

 

and no protective spray suit or gloves

 

not yet mate, am going to sort the outside first mate, need new wings and bonnet! would love it with some 205 gti rims!

thankx mate, yeah think im not going to bother sanding and polishing there! I am going to buy a proper mask mate dw yes im in college mate. thankx for the though

 

always hard not to get a bit of dust inside it comes out of every were not bad tho! as said i would have used a proper mask tho paint is a bastered will get in frow ur eyes pors in ur skin but we all learn dude i once rushed in to fineshes a job and left my mask on my box my forman at work blocked the doors and put the oven on bake lol wont forget agen

 

yeah mate its hard! yep will gonna buy a proper mask now
