Finally made a start on getting the doors painted, I was lucky to find a rust free door, just a shame it wasn't straight. A lot of sanding and prepping. painting inside your garage at home isn't easy but you can achieve good results. In between the coats of paint I also make a start on restoring the bumpers.

Top work, these panels do take time to get right. You might find a coat of wet on wet primer before your basecoat would help giving it a nice flat coat to help with any minor imperfections, great result given the space you have

Great work mate just in the middle of restoring a mk4 Xr3i my self. Do you use any thinners when mixing up your high build primer? I’ve heard some people say yes 10% and others say no

@IRustBeNuts 23 күн бұрын

thank you, no I didnt add any thinners to the high build primer, although it does seam thick when applying, maybe a larger nozzle spray gun would have been better. I did add 10% flex additive when high build priming the plastics on the bodykit after I'd plastic primered them (just using a rattle can)

@@IRustBeNuts Cheers mate my gun is a 1.8 nozzle too so think I may just add a splash of thinners into my high build to help it flow better. I’m using the mipa 4+1 high build primer.
