Also interested in a gloss black roof, however just not sure. You'll absolutely love the TS rear splitter, finishes of the rear a treat.

Cheers pal, was nice to give her a go over when I got there @6:45am in the shade before it just to too hot. Nice one pal, painted enough wheel sets now to understand the importance of contamination control and surface preparation. Still getting use to the colour as it's like having new wheels again. Lowered the car another few turns on the coilovers too while the wheels were off. Once loosen I can still turn the lock ring by hand due to the coilover socks, which I'm chuffed about. Went the country roads way home from the show and the metal undertray catched on a couple of cats eyes when crossing lanes 🤣 Seen a couple of sunset or age Z's with bronze wheels and it works.

After @Defacake kindly tag'd me in a FB announcement a few weeks back to say I had made it to the JDM Combe 🔰 Show & Shine 25, it gave me the kick up the butt to get a few bits done on the car I had in mind. After the recent front end refresh, the orange feel on the drivers door (blend panel) was very apparent. I set about getting this sorted by spending a couple hours wet sanding the entire door by hand to level out the OP. Wasn't after a mirror finish but to achieve a more factory look, plus I don't possess the skills to attempt such a feat. Started with 1500, 2000 and then 3000 which then required the long process to refine back up. Ended making a pig's ear of it and clearly had bitten off more than I could chew. Top Wrapz to the rescue on sorting out my royal f*uk up. Working out doors and by hand for such a large panel just wasn't smart, causing an uneven finish. Panel needed 3000 on a air sander and then compounding/polishing could commence. Combination of pads and products brought it back to a great standard again. The whole car was treated to a machine polish, 2 stage on the newly painted panels and single on the remaining. Wheels next. 2 years ago I set about wrapping my alloys, first to see if it could be done and secondly how well if at all would they hold up. I'm glad to confirm the hypothesis was proven correct on both accounts. The job was always a 7/10, as I was using cheap wrap and had minimal idea of what to do. Cleaning wrapped wheels however was an absolute joy, as it's so hard wearing compared to lacquer and seem to keep cleaner for longer. Water behaviour was amazing too, which contributed massively to them being able to stay cleaner between washes. Having a grey car and grey wheel centres wasn't going to be a permanent look, being a wrap it didn't have to be either. Began removing the wrap with a hair dryer to reveal lovely mark free paint underneath. So I had forgotten another plus point, the wrap protects the paint underneath if it's in decent condition to start with. Went for a bronze pearl, however as it was going over hyper silver it's given it an anodised look. Process for achieving an anodised finish from a spray can, is base over silver then either gloss or matt lacquer. Then hit the centres with 1000 grit sandpaper, at this moment I'm past the point of no return - let's carry on. All areas including the barrels key'd ready for paint. Thorough wash down, dry and mask performed with final tack cloth. Conditions last week we're just about perfect for a spot if painting. 2 dust layers followed by 2 wet coats, followed by 2 dust coats of matt lacquer and a wet coat in my makeshift spray booth. Absolutely terrible to apply as you have no idea visually where you've been and have to rely solely on being methodical. Paint was left to cure for 36 hours in the rather toasty conservatory before applying a coat of gtechniq C5 wheel armour. The ceramic coating was then left to cure overnight before fitting the wheels back on, the day before JDM Combe. Quick wash and dry, with a visit to the local Tesco for some overly priced fuel and she was ready. Story in pics below..... A task il NEVER do again for such a large panel, no no no. The easier section..... The next day at the show
