zinc primer will rust through in no time, youll get grey stripe from halfrauds.

[Grim Reaper]

its called grey stripe then yeh??? any idea on cost?? i was about to buy upol weld primer and almost fainted at the price, 11 quid a can

also, i noticed i have surface rust coming back through on the surface from where the water was sitting on the sill and i had about 3-4 coats put down so i do agree it will rust through quick waste of 3 quid lmao

[Gaz86]

grey stripe is in a tin, its really thick and you get ****loads of coverage, its about a litre and comes in a tin with red stripes on it about £13 for a tin iirc.

primer wont do anything as its porous, youll need paint and clear for it to be sealed.

i figured it would be fine too, but im abit impatient so thought what the hell i dont car if it rusts back lmao
and yes, its gonna be a ratty track monster

Thats some mighty fine over spray!
Why did you paint it black? Love the space saver!

i got some stupid overspray in the door shut because i was spraying with my left hand (couldnt open door properly because dads POS astra was in the way, and im right handed and couldnt get the angle lmao) and the other overspray was a sneaky one that went above the paper...but its a rat car now so "me no care" lmao

reason i went black was because my wheels are black too and my bumpers are unpainted so it kinda follows the line all the way and that space saver pisses me off, as my other wheel went flat

[birchieboy]

you changing the engine matey?

[Grim Reaper]

you changing the engine matey?

yup...should all be completed by early next year

[Grim Reaper]

painted my arches today slow progress as ive caught the flu also managed to move all of the crap from inside the golf to the garage, so now i can strip the rest of the interior out

[Jack]

No problems with those passing an MOT Grim, they won't be tested as they're not structural. As long as they protrude further than the wheels and have no sharp edges you'll be fine.

Get the underneath of the arches painted white, they look a bit grubby!

[WheelyBigCheese]

but those are your best jeans! good effort coming along nicely.
