You're an impatient bunch aren't you!? :lol:

Well without further ado, here are some pics I took just now. It's had a wash, but needs a polish to bring up the shine to where I want it!

Here's to countless days of sanding, undercoating, more sanding, colour coats, sanding, clear coats and endless fumes :cheers:


I present to you... The new Red Rocket! :twisted:

- Repaired VS front bumper
- Repaired gash in VS side skirt
- Replaced rear bumper
- Painted sh*t

Hmm.
Blood Panda.

Interesting.
Not a complete fan, but it's different.

I reckon you could have gotten away with a gloss black over matte.
But each their own.

Nice work.

Bloody top job there obsidian.
You must be very proud of your work.
It looks absolutely fantastic.

Can't wait to get together for pics, or even get together and enter our FTO's into a car show.

It's got several coats of clear over it, which will gloss up once it's polished. I need to wait for a while or else the heat from the buff will shrink it.

Been there, done that, where were you guys Huh??

But yea get a few more in next year. Although they'll probably split us up as they don't let clubs enter together
There are two types of people on forums; those that give helpful advice, and the others
