Black lower trim

[FarmerPug]

you wouldnt want anything lumpy and rigid which would happen with normal paint, sounds like a good job. This stuff sounds good, ive a coat which i spilt bleach on, a bit of fabric spray to bring back the original colour would be a good idea.

[Gary406]

yes mate its bloody fantastic stuff
just give the rear doors a 2nd coat and WOW
cant beleive how good it looks

just have to wait now for the other tin to arrive in the post so i can do the last door card
run out of stuff now
yep 2 bottles costing £27.50 inc delivery charge has done 3 door cards
1 bottle including delivery £13.50

total price for all 4 will be £41

bargain i think , bet not many D8 406 owners have nice black door cards

[FarmerPug]

'twill look much better than grey.

[Gary406]

indeed with the 2nd coat they have gone a deep black colour

[FarmerPug]

pictures will need to be produced of this new interior.

[Gary406]

indeed , just rang the fabirc company and told them to charge my card for 2 more instead of 1
then each card will have had 1 tin to do it properly,
special deliver post will get them 2moro
after weekend will post piktures

you still havent got the pp2000 well i did, and bar having to reinstall it all again its going well. So perhaps if your planning a holiday in northern ireland to see er the giants causeway, and er lough neagh in the 406 i could help but if not someone is bound to have one close to you.

May do that. Next time I get (forced) to go see the in-laws, I'll drop her off in Athlone & head up the North & hide!

[FarmerPug]

good idea, i might even have figured all this out.

[Gary406]

ok back to the door cards i have sprayed ///

if any1 was thinking of doing this then DONT
this stuff doesnt do a good job,

i was daft enuff to try it but now i can tell every1 else not to because you will wish you hadnt

it doesnt stick, it rubs off if you rub your finger in same place for about 30 secs

it makes the cloth on the door cards go a little hard, not fully hard but not as soft as they were before ..

so dont do it , im gonna redo mine with sum black upholster cloth cost me about £8 for the material and £1 for some screws and washers to put the handles back on the cards since they are plastic welded on

[FarmerPug]

thats a shame gary, but on the issue of screwing back in the handles, use some pink grip in addition to the screws and washers, it means they will be bonded onto the door card very tight, the screws just hold it in place, but it takes the strain off them.

[Gary406]

ye thanks good thinking

[Gary406]

im a bit pissed to be honest , £55 it cost me in total

now will need to spend another days with the material i will buy

should of sent it to the upholster shop in 1st place he only wanted £80 for all 4

[plod]

bummer dood

[Gary406]

yep big bummer
my own fault really for trying it and beleiving the stuff worked

[lozz]

Maybe they will re-inburse you if you complain.
