freshened up the fiesta - now white (lots of pictures)

strip down

in the garage
all back together, opinions on the stripes please - you can be as blunt as you like

Re: freshened up the fiesta - now white (lots of pictures)
That is awesome, simply awesome!
The fact you've done it all yourself make it even better!!!
Mind me asking, did you use 2 pack paint? If so, what kind of mask did you use?

Re: freshened up the fiesta - now white (lots of pictures)
My God that s simply stunning.
That is by far one of the best looking fiesta's I have seen in a long time.
I cant even begin to imagine how much blood and sweat went in to that.
Congrats to you mate that is a job well done and them some.
To sum it up in two words ' Bloody amazing '

Re: freshened up the fiesta - now white (lots of pictures)
i'm made up you all like it so much the girlfriend said the stripes looked "weird" so i was unsure, but my dad and I both liked them, so i guess women really don't know about cars
seriously though, i would like to get some opinions about the stripes and the bonnet, the bonnet was a bit random as i bought it black and i thought - it might look good it might look better white, but basically i havent got the time to paint it right now so i left it.
thanks for the comments, i really am chuffed and yes it was a lot of work

Good work,
Only one criticisum, why didn't you take the windscreen out for the re-spray ??
I like it when people choose the best colour for their cars

Re: freshened up the fiesta - now white (lots of pictures)
daring, but congrats!
i do think the bonnet wouldbe better white with a blue fade going up the centre (a la RS1600i) style though

Re: freshened up the fiesta - now white (lots of pictures)
hmm, interesting you should say that, today i thought that a blue rs1600 style graphic would look good.... maybe i'll look into it.
i didn't take the windscreen out as it looked like i'd end up taking the dash etc out and in that case masking it up would save a number of hours so i just masked it, as i say, i was only trying to clean up the run around so i wasn't too bothered about having the blue paint under the rubber. i guess if i ever do have the glass out i will do it then.
i'm very pleased with the comments, thanks a lot

Re: freshened up the fiesta - now white (lots of pictures)
Hats off, i like that very very much it looks sooo smart, love the strips, black bonnet kind of works (white better) but its a proper crowd puller.
Its got that look that the magazines love, stick a zetec/zvh turbo in that then have a grudge with rawli's car, imagine the look of these two together
Well done

Re: freshened up the fiesta - now white (lots of pictures)
I REALLY like it!
My only one dislike is that black bonnet. I really like the stripes, but i dont think the bonnet goes with the rest of the car.
Other than that, very well done mate!

Re: freshened up the fiesta - now white (lots of pictures)
amazing work mate, and ive gotta say i like the black bonnet on it, now ive seen other cars with black bonnets and the rest of cars white but seems to work on yours, the stripes i do like aswel, i think the bonnet wouldnt work if you had colour coded the the bracket plates on the wing mirrors, and the laguna/espace splitter helps aswel with bit more black , is different, i like

Re: freshened up the fiesta - now white (lots of pictures)
I agree with everyone! Top job mate, looks pro! Where did u learn to spray and what equipment was you using?
IMHO i dont like the stripes, the blue is a bit random, but the black bonnet looks tough as! Absolutely stunning mate! Give yourself a pat on the back

Re: freshened up the fiesta - now white (lots of pictures)
Two things left to do. Fill out the log book and paint the bonnet white.
Those that can, do; and those that can't, talk about it.

Re: freshened up the fiesta - now white (lots of pictures)
great job , can you tell me what paint you have used here mate? to me it looks like cellulouse , because mine is done in that too , so i think i am right , do correct me though ,
and what ratio was you mixing paint to thinners
cars looking great
dont worry about the arch and bummper , you can always fibreglass and filler that up if it cannot be moved around a little
