What a difference a "clay" makes! |

 paul4d writes "Hello all, decided to have a go at restoring the paint work on a family members run-around. This little fiat has the worst oxidation you are likely to see, the dreaded red paint that has turned pink.
Anyway, £64 at Halfords and 4 hours work.....so far I have done the Bonnet and the two Front Wings. Plenty to do but the results make it worth doing I think.
Anyone else have a car that needs doing? I am getting into this now. :) I have been quoted at £500 for a respray and £300 for a "mopping", paint restoration is an expensive business unless you have a go yourself of course!
I'll send a few before-and-after shots to Rob and see if he can host them on his server for me.....if they appear below you know he has, if not send me an email and I will get them to you.

Fortunately my red car hasn't gone pink so I'm ok, but like you say, worth bearing in mind how much companies charge for this work!! |

(User Info | Send a Message) | Thanks Si,
anytime you need someone to buff your motor give me a call! :)
I have finished the whole car now and it looks great, well worth the 12 hours I spent on it.
Nice to hear from you by the way, hope you are well.
Keep in touch, Paul. |
