Yeah, Just Lenny, sounds good been stuck in house with Family since May wrecking my head like bejaysus!! To be honest i brushed it on but lighlty & thinly. Yunii Btw Lenny next fordfair you should come over. Im sure some members will chip in for your long journey cost. I defo will.must bring focus/ your tools etc. Can do some on stand while we browse the other stands lol! Yunii Lol i will be there next year for sure mate defo will no collection required, However donations welcome to Nama and the IMF I seriously need a holiday dude, I cant drive at present as you already know due to hip fracture i wont hog your thread with detail on that, Besides that the focus currently needs an overhaul aswell so ive had a busy month on the sofa ordering online, July's update will be going live on my build thread next Friday, Ive got it all written up just to insertba few pictures, its all about service parts upgrading them where possible maximising the use of existing service parts prior to upgrade and how to prevent yourself from getting spit roast in dealership by shopping around for the obvious replacements required prior to leaving it in with them to do the left over jobs. Link to update page in advance: http://www.fordownersclub.com/forums/topic/41443-taking-oval-to-blue-horizon-lennys-build-thread-2010-2015/page-87 Anyway back on topic mate: I assumed you had used the spray can its good stuff aswell, however; since your using a brush and tin, I suggest masking up your brake discs and painting the spacer sections between disc and wheel with Hammerite Smooth Finish silver aswell, See example: Leave the copper greece in the centre to prevent the alloy rim bonding to the discs when hot. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yunii Posted July 25, 2015 Author Share Posted July 25, 2015 Will do if i get chance but front discs are fairly new . Done around 1000 miles.

Thats a shame about the skirts mate, I feel your frustration there, would been nice to have them fitted for ford fair, But we can all admire them on the forum when fitted, I find its best not to rush some types of people such as bodyshops Its the type of occupation take time to perfection and if rushed will affect the finish at some point down the line with no come back. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not just the skirts i want to do . Planning on painting the front upper/lower grilles in gloss black also redo the alloys. Front 2 have very light scrapes. But want them more glossy to give more shine in darker daylight. By adding more laquor.Yunii 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yunii Posted July 25, 2015 Author Share Posted July 25, 2015 I agree in not rushing . As for discs the black coating wears off with usage to just silver. Yunii 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yunii Gloss grills and fog surrounds are a nice touch mate, Perhaps fit drl fog surrounds get em sprayed gloss black. I agree in not rushing . As for discs the black coating wears off with usage to just silver. 1437857245648.jpg 1437857281566.jpg1437857300886.jpg Yunii Nice, Ive saw a Video interview with EBC Brakes on YouTube recently, https://youtu.be/C_mcL1vtqL8 They said "moving forward" all discs the manufacture are coated in a black perhaps ceramic? Coating to protect them from rusting in warehouse storage and assist with them bedding in on the car, They went on to say; depending on what car you drive it may be some time before all of there warehouse stock is replaced with black coated ones, http://www.ebcbrakeshop.co.uk/ I can see this catching on with all manufacturers because they would no longer need a temperature regulated warehouse to preserve stock, If the stock was coated to protect from oxygen thus eliminating moisture contact decay in storage.

yunii Posted August 1, 2015 Author Share Posted August 1, 2015 Aarrghh! Someones swiped my wind deflecters yesterday & i dont even know when or where or what time. Just before fordfair as well. Its not the value of it but how good they looked. It looks different without em. Really not happy. They even broke ends of deflecters so i cant see them any good.
