Help needed to get my car ready for Stoneleigh
« Reply #31 on: March 15, 2016, 09:38:14 AM »
I've been told my car needs two more coats of primer and each coat needs one and a half weeks to cure before sanding ? So my car is going to be just sat there doing nothing!
I really want to get my car to Stoneleigh so I am wondering if you guys know of someone around the Leeds area who can sort out my interior and fit all the last bits e.g. Wire mesh, stereo, reversing camera etc. This is the only way I can get the car to Stoneleigh so any help is appreciated guys

Thanks

hi buddy

why does it need more primer if it was polyestered ? you have to be very carefull putting too many coats of high build primer on a fiberglass car as it shrinks even after months of being applied.we done a test for ppg standox by mixing and spraing polyester vs primer and after 2 moths the primer had shrunk well over and inch and the polyester hadnt moved at all.the primer should only be for sealing in the filler and polyester.2 thin coats so it doesnt shrink.our test panels came back after being left in sun for 2 weeks and the paint on the polyester one was fine but the primer one had spider cracks and blow holes in were the prmer was too thick and had moved.
come on lads lets try help him out for stoneleigh :)

Thanks for your helpful advice, once again Beemaman, As you can probably tell I haven't got a clue when It comes to bodywork, so I have to go along with what I am told :/

I am really hoping that I can get my car ready for Stoneleigh... so Please if anyone can help me out??

That's a lot of work to have that car ready for Stoneleigh. No window trims electrics to sort and other trim bits. its not just the paint bits its the build up after.
I think if it was already in paint it might be a tall order as parts need to be made still. Wheel arch liners? Interior trim? wiring of lights? Spacers? etc etc.

Wheel spacers are done, electrics are done

So nowhere near as much work as it sounds

I know it sounds impossible, but surely it's worth giving it a go?

I did ask Sha for a price , so am waiting to see what he comes up with

I have booked my car to be painted on the 27th April by http://prodipyourcar.com
I am using Autoflex paint which is a brand new auto paint to the UK
Here is an example of the work they do

Interesting ,  will dipping your car allow you to get away with darker colours ?

Just to be clear, this isn't plastidip, it's a new paint that is flexible but sandable & you can polish it :)
I guess we will find out as I'm going with a dark grey metallic
