b4zz Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 21 hours ago, kpg said: I might try the blue in the grill this weekend. Instead of just pin striping the face of that piece of grill I'll probably wrap that whole bit as far in as it goes. Just that one horizontal piece. Sent from the pub with a pint in the other hand. yea I think that would look good mate 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpg Posted May 29, 2016 Author Share Posted May 29, 2016 Took a trip to Belfast Zoo yesterday. Managed to collect a lovely wee family of stone chips and a dent on the way: Not impressed. On a lighter note, stage 1 of 3 is completed: Should have all the red replaced with blue by the end of today. Will try and get the calipers painted the same blue tomorrow.

kpg Posted May 29, 2016 Author Share Posted May 29, 2016 Aaaand I'm finished. Finally. It's a little bit rough in some places but you wouldn't know unless looking very closely. Sent from the pub with a pint in the other hand. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan P Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 Nice work. I prefer the blue to the red. Look forward to seeing the calipers done too. Sorry to hear about the dent and chips. Bummer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I'll see if Halfords has any similar blue tomorrow. Not much I can do about the chips, will have to try and mask them with the 3pen set thingy.

Benji. Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Love the pinstripe. That blue looks a treat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpg Posted May 30, 2016 Author Share Posted May 30, 2016 Managed to get the front brakes done today. Just by chance the only blue at Halfords was a 99% match for the wrap at the front. Lucky me. It'll be next weekend now before I et to do the drums at the back but they're just going black. No one wants to see those lol Sent from the pub with a pint in the other hand. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzman600 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Nice work KPG but when you do the rear drums make sure you use a Zinc paint. Other painting ts would take stop rust appearing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpg Posted May 30, 2016 Author Share Posted May 30, 2016 Nice work KPG but when you do the rear drums make sure you use a Zinc paint. Other painting ts would take stop rust appearing. I'm using enamel paint. Hopefully that'll do the job? Sent from the pub with a pint in the other hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpg Posted May 30, 2016 Author Share Posted May 30, 2016 Please excuse the poor state my alloys are in. They'll be getting refinished soon. I promise. Sent from the pub with a pint in the other hand. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzman600 Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 Then use a grey zinc primer before the enamel coat. Just passing my 30 year experience on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScorpionSX Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Looks perfect! Too bad there are drums on the back (btw, really Ford? on 2011+ Focus? Drums?)...maybe you could also make a strip on "something" on the back...some part of the rear spoiler, etc...to make it look "in line" ;) But once again, great choice of colour! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea it's stupid really. Why have drums in this day and age. Doesn't really bother me that much if I'm honest. I was thinking on doing the inner bit of the cutouts on the spoiler in the same blue. Maybe. But then again I may be getting the ZS rear bumper so a little pin stripe along that somewhere will definitely happen.

kpg Posted June 2, 2016 Author Share Posted June 2, 2016 Heading to the Ford Fair in Portrush on Saturday morning. They're celebrating 40 years of the Fiesta so I'm very excited to see what shows up this year. I'll be making a few owners club stickers in the same blue I wrapped my grill with. Putting them on the rear quarter Windows, just for the day. Also will be sporting my 'limited edition' ford owners club lanyard too so if anyone if going on Saturday keep an eye out and say hello :) Sent from the pub with a pint in the other hand. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
