Pictures - Waxoil - HIds - My a*se ... shiny!
Discussion
Got round to connecting my blackberry up to the laptop today and found these hiding away ...
First two are me in a washed (not often enough) 'Ro .. black on black with grey smoked windows ..... no badges all round.
See, my shiny arse
Post removal of the skirts, but before wax oyl. All surfaces were washed down, dried with a compressor and wire brushed clean before application.
Masking has begun, wanted to make sure that the hidden areas were well coated
After the first pass, baked on too.
Wheels on ......
After shots, nice a shiny and water tight.
HId before fitting on the dining table, not much to them. 15 minute job, easy.
After fitting ... white!
Compared to before .... yellow!

The uderside of the car is coated, cost around £100 in materials, took a day. Took the heat shields off and covered every nook and cranny of the underside. Also made sure that behind the sills took a good coating too, that always seems to go on my cars, FTO and Glanza have also had the same treatment.
Anyone (raggyman?) in the North east is more than welcome to come to mine and use the ramps, they've so far been used by 15+ Yank V8s owners and Jap car owners to do the same.

I did exactly that, new super bright rears, new side light bulbs, indicators and rear plate lights.
My previous post (use search for HID and LED and my name) and you'll find the part numbers there.....

brushed or sprayed on? halfrauds sell a cheap spray device for applying it so just wondered if you'd used one of those?
The cans I bought were industrial size UBER cans, they were aerosol so I used them, just heated them to get the best application.
They coated the car really well

Did a search it brings up the topic then when click on it takes me straight to the forum main page and not the thread itself! Not got a link by any chance have you?
With the inidcator LED's did you have to fit resistors to them for the correct flash rate?
I have fitted the indicators and I still don't have a flash issue, however I did buy the relay to plug into the fuse box, however it won't fit as my fuse box is different size to what was expected.
I will try and find the link
