right then ...... ive decided to pull my finger out my arse and start getting the corsa ready for usc. after prepping the engine bay last night while the mrs was in a strop i came out this morning an painted it, this time with a compressor and with proper paint an not with halfords rattle cans like before












after that took all of 10 minutes i decided to start preppin to be painted gloss black. iv painted the inner mud guards (only the parts you'll see)


thats with the plastic primer on believe it or not











iv now started prepping an old arch as a tester for the finish of them in gloss black

before


during


and after


then plastic primered



then with paint





its a good job i used a teater because iv used a 80 grit to take the dimples away then a 150 and thn a 220 to take those scratches away which has left it looking shit if im honest so im not gna use the 80 anymore and im now going to put a coat of gloss black down then flat it with 800 then put another gloss black and laquer down after


im just having a lunch break lol then ill be back to it so more updates later on

Why didnt you just use Hi Build Primer on the arches?? No need to rub the dimples off the plastic then?!

i asked for it mate but they said the only plastic primer you can get is the clear stuff and its only high build because you have to apply several coats

tbh i fought he was blagging me but fuck it its done now

you still need to rub them down if using high build, once rubbed down wack on a coat or 2 of the clear plastic primer and then a good few coats of high build

right then its time for an update........and the update is nothing lol

i havnt had any wheels to put on the front to pull the car out the garage to take the back bumper and arches off so i got bored one day after looking at my moms car lol

it looked abit high and the wheels looked shit soooooooo the work began lol










so i after 5 mins on the bay i found some 40mm springs and shocks and after an offer of 30 quid was accepted i went on a 20 minute mission into town and piked them up

and after i lowered it i thought i would be rude not to paint the wheels gloss black, espeacially as i have the compressor and some spare gloss black paint from my arches

and after a wash tcut and a wax the result was








iv also put a de-cat pipe on it that i had lying around after buying the wrong one for my punto turbo but sssssssshhhhhhhhh. me mother doesnt know that part


after this i sourced some wheels and got my car out the garage and took the bumpers and arches off so it should be fitted back up on the weekend with its new gloss black clothes mmmmm
(and to take the scuttle off that now belongs to euurocorsa)

what a sorry fuking site man
