Carbon Splitters Refurb

[Dan]

Afraid not no, never dealt with them before.

For peps in Reading area theres a good chap, Noel @ NUR-Motorsport . He manufactures carbon parts/ Repairs.

Any experience of this guy Alex? I caught my front bumper on a flower pot up the Mrs drive this morning :banghead: :banghead: it will polish out but not happy about it and both the bumper and splitter are chipped to fook anyways! Oh, and I caught the offside splitter on the leading edge a while back as well! :bigcry: :banghead:

(continued) Front Bumper Tidy up

When giving up after trying countless times to get the front bumper resprayed, I thought better of it, as said previously. What a headache spray shops are! Although I did get the splitters done FOC. (Too fooking right)!! :hahaha:

Anyway, I decided to leave it till next year as it hasn't turned quite see through just yet! But I did settle on giving it a quick tidy up, touching in any large chips and the screw holes that caught my eye every time I went near.

My attempts DIY SOS:

Front bumper removed.


Body filler applied, allowing to dry, rubbed back till completely flush.








Primed with a grey plastic primer. I decided to blow it in rather than masking off & folding back.




3 coats later: + Left 24+hrs to dry then rubbed back with a fine 1500 wet & dry with plenty of water/ washing up liquid.


Painted A08 to match. Allowed 12+hrs to dry.




Lacquer applied over top, 4-5+ layers. Cured for 2-3 weeks (due to being cellulose) then rubbed down with a 2000 wet & dry (plenty of water/ washing up liquid) till surface looses all roughness and orange peel.


I used a cutting compound (T-cut) without aid of a machine polisher on a damp cloth. Buffed off.




Polish was allied and worked in well, buffed off. Left was to add some wax which I decided to put on a week later.
