bodgemonkey Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 Popped the centre caps off the P Slots yesterday, sanded back and painted in mk4 Reflex Silver, very similiar to the old silver but a bit brighter with some more sparkle. Before After Still need to polish the lacquer, but finish is horrible, dont like using rattle cans, would much rather prefer using a proper paint gun but i only had rattle cans... Waiting for the Pirelli stickers to arrive and fit those onto the caps. Just need to get some cheapy coilovers and that should do me for now, oh and remove the immob key sticking out of the rear quarter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcsammy Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 what i found best with rattle can lacquer is to build up a few small thin coats, and then do one last thick coat... you can get it to sit perfectly flat like water... but obviously theres a fine line between that and causing it to run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodgemonkey Posted August 31, 2012 Author Share Posted August 31, 2012 Ended up doing that Sam aswell but it's the actual paint itself, very uneven colours, shaked it well and heated it slightly too for the 3rd and 4th ones and they were a bit better, but definatley need to re do the 1st one I done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
