Front end respray

[toenheel]

Evening all

Has anyone had a front end respray? Does silver grey match easy enough? Looking at tidying front end up and wheels refurbed. Just had the roof re laquered and picked a bad stonechip up that's blistered the laquer :bigcry: so decided to go whole hog and get the car immaculated.

Simpson did mine - great match and reasonable cost. :thumbs:

No to the above Shim but

2 front wings, front bumper, bonnet and leading edge of rear arches was approx. £1400 in Sep 2013.

That sounds about right. My front bumper needs doing after running in service.

My Cecil is in the process of having it's front end fully re sprayed as well but in my OCD case it's more like this... :whistle:

Im so cheesed off as had the roof re laquered recently and it looked amazing only to pick a bad stonechip up, this time round im going to put some stoneguard wrap on the roof, front end re spray and wheels refurbed should look amazing. :supz:

Do any of you guys know where is best to purchase some fresh wheel bolts? Going to need new kidney grills as well how much are they at a main stealer?

Yes mate :smokin: OCD to the MAX :supz:
... and all because I want the front wings painted properly right to the edge and a bit beyond to eliminate small stone chips that existed on the inside edge of the front wings which you can't get at properly if the wings are left on the car and if not treated will develop to small scabs lifting new paint (pic below). BTW the door was fine but my Pro. painter said he needs it to blend the SG paint into it as otherwise the newly painted wing will show up a different shade of SG from certain angles. Apparently SG is one of the more tricky colours to match perfectly.

Totally understand.

Never realised that painting the panels in situ would not give 100% paint coverage.

Are you having the sill covers painted?

Only asking as mine have quite a bit of rash from front wheel debris.

They just unscrew from the floor don't they??
