Saw this at mine too, takes some justifying for a £1k lol. But the video demonstration shows how good it is, good thing if you're in the business I suppose

thanks mate, hope so...that reminds me, need to get couple brushes. so you reckon 10mm?

10mm is a perfect size, Scotch Brite, panel wipe, paint,jobs a good un, best not apply paint in direct sunlight as it will begin to cure immediately so less time to work with it, also have a cloth with some white spirit handy incase of a shaky hand lol

Now THAT is a jack, but need a garage just for it, never mind the car

Good to hear mate, decent weather always cheers me up.
Even better news you have "permission"...a slightly different scale to me getting sign-off for red calipers. But she is worried it is going to look like a dogs dinner....must admit a little worried about that myself....now where is that paint stripper?

You'll be fine mate - like @jassyo06 says, fine 10mm brush and just have a nice green tea for breakfast to keep your hand steady (not the usual x3 rocket fuel Nespressos, lol). Seriously, bit of masking tape around brake discs etc and you'll be good Take your time, and don't be tempted to over work/over brush the Hammerite - you'll be tempted to think "I can just get that bit a little better", but if you think that, don't, and move on - that's what the second coat is for (it is pretty forgiving stuff though, so you'll be 'reet')

My neighbours already think I’ve gone bonkers since I got the S3!! Was desperate to get the Megs tyre finish on yesterday, but “apparently” mowing and edging the lawn was “more important”! Lol.

I could just see my car on one of these rolling off the drive and into the telegraph pole opposite !!!

Haha, I do actually have Nespresso
I will tape up discs and not go over same spot..have used hammerite before on cast iron lamppost on our drive, so know it provides good coverage and smooths itself, but will drag if you go over it again. You reckon 2 coats are enough?

Jack and stands arriving today...um, haven’t told the Mrs about this delivery, and she is at home (remember forgiveness rather than permission )

Not sure however if I will get time or conditions to do this over weekend as supposed to chuck it down, and busy on Saturday.

Lol - I'll take that as a compliment! It's a cropped version of the pic in this post..

Gyeon Cure applied yesterday - seems to be ticking the beading box! Like the way the beads are magnifying the pearl flecks in the paint

You've too much money mate..... Think what car you could have..... Next.......

 

[NevMan]

You've too much money mate..... Think what car you could have..... Next.......

Hmm, good question, thinking: Macan S, X3M, RSQ3, RSQ5 (if they make one!), SQ5....or actually stick with a car for longer, but whatever, next WILL be bigger than 4 cyl. Maybe next RS3

You're going to need a bigger shed soon Nev. Still those calipers will look really good once done . During painting you may think it'll be in your face but once those wheels go on they look just so . Busy , busy ......

This lot arrived today - Karcher K4 Premium (so comes with the integrated hose reel) Full Control from the Karcher outlet at the bargain price of £147 delivered (including extended warranty), and Autobrite Direct top quality SF lance. I'm ruddy chuffed. The REALLY nice surprise was that the hose is 11.5 metres long!!! Was expecting it to be 6m (as per all the product info details on 'tinterweb) and was anticipating needing to get a separate extension hose. No need, can get all the way around the car with this, without having the drag the Karcher round with me. Result.

Already 'vajazzled' it with a decent brass hose connector, lol. Just need the car to get dirty now so I can road test her. Hoping it will be a LOT quieter than my old screaming banshee entry-level Nilfisk (that old nag will be retired to back of house/garden duties).

Next on the list, Hose-eez Detail Guardz (pack of x4), to avoid the hose snagging on tyres. Supposed to be good...

Nice one, sounds like a cracking deal there, and a decent length hose thrown in hose-eez are useful little blighters

Nope stuck in dalaman airport til 05-30 then a 4 hour flight and a drive from Manchester to Glasgow plane delayed 4 hours

Come on @jassyo06 bet you can't wait to get on-board the plane. It sounds like a not-so-good holiday for you mate and I am sure you'll get your money back. Safe travels back home mate

I will so ask the company to throw in BH Snowfoam and BSD as a goodwill as imo it would make it the whole experience real sweet.
