Any of the paint that's bubbled up will need to be removed. As coldel mentioned if it's not completely flat when you put the wrap on it will show through underneath the wrap. I'd say you're going to have to be brave and sand it down before you put Kurust on it (you must completely remove any signs of rust for best results ~ use a small wire brush head attachment on a Dremel if you have one). Then paint/lacquer on top and when that's all hardened go over it with some really fine (1000-1200 grade) wet & dry sand paper with plenty of soapy water. Not going to look pretty but as long as you've treated the rust correctly and smoothed over the paint nicely it shouldn't show with the wrap on top. Definitely not a permanent fix though especially not if the wrap comes off in the future.

Did you sell your used TT set up in the end? Was a good buy whoever got that.

I had mine resprayed because of maybe 2-3 tiny chips which had very small bits of rust (smaller than yours). It does sound excessive maybe yes but as I wasn't wrapping my car I needed the finish to be decent so had the whole roof done as blending in one small area would never have worked. If you're going to cover it up with a wrap and don't really care what it looks like underneath then you could always just take the rust spotted area back down to bare metal yourself with sandpaper, then spray with primer, followed by a base coat & some lacquer. Then with wet & dry sand paper just go over the whole thing to make sure it's nice and smooth. It'll never blend in and will look rubbish but if it's under a wrap you'll never notice it obviously.

So funny because it's true.

Looks really smart George, ....pretty mean looking too in black.

Not surprised they crashed tbh, ...those helmets really restrict visibility and should definitely be banned.

I had my roof resprayed on my old Zed Strudul as part of a few other paint jobs I was having done so I can't give you an exact figure but I'd guess around £100-£150 to have the roof done from most body shops.

First thing to do asap imo is get some "Kurust" from Halfords or similar and apply that in order to stop the rust from spreading any further. Link: http://www.halfords.com/motoring/paints-body-repair/rust-removal-treatment/hammerite-kurust-12-5ml-pencil For the touch up paint you're just as good going to the main dealers for it as they'll get the paint code from your VIN and it's only about £5-£6 odd for the little kit they give you. If you're going to wrap the car then it is best to get that sorted properly before wrapping otherwise it will just get worse hidden from view below the wrap.

Don't forget the other option of a turbo kit as I know Adrian@Torqen had some cracking turbo kits for the Zeds. Whether it's a turbo/s or supercharger kit it will transform the cars performance Chris.

Yep they're terrible and reminded me of "James Bonds" on his old Aston, ...but not in a good way.

Totally understandable Andy, ....nah I'm kidding, you're bonkers really. Seriously though I do kind of understand where you're coming from as I do get a lot of satisfaction from making things myself often with the end product/kit/part etc not being as fun as the fun I had along the way making it.

Good luck with your plans. If you do the "penny trick" use plastic or nylon washers instead of actual pennies as they are less likely to damage the rubber or your paint work after they're fitted. It's a simple job to do and sorted my boot unlocking problems.

Came close to giving you a warning point for that one.

That's what makes it ugly?!!

Beautiful garden Ricky. You've done a great job there.

Unlocked at Ops request. Good luck with the sale/swap.

@350zedd & Tricky-Ricky ~ Great ponds both. Love the slate and stones on yours 350zedd. Does yours have a mini bridge Ricky? That's a lovely feature and the small water fall is very nice. JEMAN as usual doing it in large scale.

HAHA this is a sink in the Utility room Sink in the kitchen is a nice black composite one! lol.. Stainless steel is better for washing car parts too hahahah My kitchen sink is missing the half bowl in the centre which is great for washing your hands in. Definitely something I need to address next year.

Plus one.

Great work davey. Looking good.

You're welcome.

Love the bike in it's black guise. Very cool indeed.

Have you tried asking Adrian@Torqen or Chris@Tarmac Sportz? Both of whom AFAIK deal with Stillen products so would be able to source both parts I'm sure.
