ammarbm Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I sprayed the lip kit silver myself.. Might try doing the pirates black also but I am not sure how it will turn out.. I want it to shine like the rest of the car but the silver I did didn't shine like the rest.. I would try on a lip first if it doesn't look nice I will just prep them all and take them to body shop.Ah sad to see the green aerodeck but at least it's helped your PB deck so it's sacrifice is not wasted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pirates Black is not exactly the easiest colour to bring up after a respray. I had that problem with the mid-spoiler. I got Pirates Black paint mixed from the bodyshop into an aerosol can. The colour came up pretty dull (slightly faded) even though I applied lacquer over it. I might be doing something wrong but it's just easier to go for a proper respray with the professional spray kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it doesn't work out I might use it on the wheels instead 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marv Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 I painted a lip in pirates black before. I had todo a bit wet sanding and use some cutting compound to get a nice shine afterwards. Came out ok in the end Look forward to seeing the vtis lip fitted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't sand it or use cutting compound after. Oh well it's done now haha. Thanks man, should be all fitted tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtec2011 Posted January 11, 2015 Author Share Posted January 11, 2015 Car has hit 172'000 miles today so a full service is due. Not sure if there's any point though seeing as another engine will be dropped in sometime this year. Or should I just go ahead with a service and see if I can get it to 200'000 mile? Gave her a good wash today and then it pi$$ed down.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
