Well some of you know what im like when it comes to cleaning my car. A all round clean aweek before a show, another clean day before the show, and then another clean when we arrive at the show lol.

Well As i use a rotory mop/buffer for my daily job to buff up laqure, I decided to "Mop/Buffer" my whole car yesterday afternoon.

Well Ill let the crap picture quaility of the pics speak for them self's! lol.

I feel me spending a couple of tenners on ding/dent master to get out acouple of door dings for me.

But apart from that what do you think of the pics?

Regards Monki.

Couple more pics of ScoobyProjects and Keiths new front bumper spray job!

Big thanks to Keith for allowing me to use his workshop, when he could have told me to work outside in the cold and for badgering you through out the day with technical advice for scoobys lol.

Regards Ben.

Morning all, what a nice sunny day it is! At zero degrees grrr lol

Morning all, How are things?

Ben - make sure you make the next one - thought it was a mate moving??????????

Haha yes it was, Moving a majority of his unpacked bits and bobs on friday and spent 9:30 to about 5pm on the saterday moving the rest of the funature ect. Sorry Weekends weekdays and most days come to think of it just seem to blurr at the moment

Yeh Kev when your free next we have a proper bender! lol And Ed sorry mate I was extramly busy that Friday as well as it being something or others birthday I cant remember much about it lol.

Hi all hope everyones had a good weekend?

Happy Birthday Ed ye old man!!!!!!!!!!

Hope you have a great day!

Awesome work mate!

How much do you charge to repair stone chips and dents etc?

Hi Rick.

Sorry for late reply, The amount I charge is all dependant on the paint damage to the bumper. If I have to respray the whole bumper then it will be around the £200 mark. But that will be a all day job, sanding back all the stone chips, repriming the bumper and then respraying the colour coat. After that its then the Laqure which gives the end result.

Im not sure how much bodyshops charge but I charge on what I feel is fair price for time labour and materials.

Hope it helps bud.

Regards Ben.

HI all,

I was invited to Scoobyprojects to carry out some work on this gorgeous P1.

Hears the piccies.

And heres the results of the finished front bumper refirbishment.

Please excuse the quality of pics as they was taken on my camera phone!.

While I was down there I was very impressed with the new set up that Keith has and he certainly knows his mustured after having a lengthly chat about car modding. Also I noticed another sexy P1 on the ramps looking pukka!

Oh and I bought some gauges from Keith which once wired in I can now see when I can "Offically" boot it lol. They look pukka! I can see me buying something from ScoobyProjects everytime I visit.

Regards Monki.

Picked my girly up from the bodyshop this morning and all I can say is WOW!!!!!!!!!!

Piero has done an absolutely stunning job, she looks absolutely gorgeous and as soon as it stops hissing down with rain I'll get some pics up.

Big thanks to Rick for the recommendation by the way

Look forward to seeing the pictures Ill have a new product soon called bumper guard. Its a very think clear coat which is rubbery and hence repells stone chips and can be sprayed to any area not masked up. Soon as I got it, Ill be markiting it to any one who wants to keep there bonnets, bumpers and splitters in pristein condition!

Indeed Ed. Not everyone likes it but you can't beat a bit of controversy

Talking of spraying did you not get my PM on FB

Hi Ben yeh I got your Pm, And I replyed iirc?

I was hoping to catch a picture of your front end on this thread but Ill have agander over on FB and see your car on there

Ermmm I forgot im helping my friend start his move to his new house tonight bout 4ish, The meet startes at 7 right??? Ill do my best to come as I wana see you pesky lot! Been a year I think :S

Yes my mums on the wrong tax code, as the company she works for is owned bya larger corperation, which because the larger corperation has changed its name, its put people at the company my mum works for on the wrong taz code.

Diabolical isnt it!

Yeh subbaru paint is thin, my bumper was peppered but it had been resprayed before so it was just down to the base coat/ primer.

To be honest my IR heat lamps are good for baking off laqure as well as seeing how well the paint and laqure has settled on the said panel, even in poor lighting but not recommended lol.

Oh Ed I could do your Bonnet, BUT and this is a big big but. Bonnets are brilliant for showing any and all imprefections to the eye, even someone with poor sight like you old man

This is due to the angle you look at the bonnet. (usally a 30degree angle, which is also the angle you look down the side of a car to see any imperfections)

For a few stone chips on the bonnet. Ill be looking at respraying the immediate area with the 3 cover coats of paint, but then its the drop coat which blends the new paint to the old colour. Which on a bonnet if not blended properly (And i am convident i can) you will see immediatly due to the angle. The same goes for the laqure. If not applyed correctly, and fade out used properly and the fadeout lines not buffed up using the mop. Any imperfections on that bonnet will be seen.

So I would say I would take on bonnet damage but I will clearly say to you ill doo my absolute best to correct the imperfections. As bonnets need a bit more care to correct with out respraying the entire bonnet.

Kinda Regards Ben.

Don't worry bud, I have your number stored in my phone ;-) 1st car for you to do is my own though ;-)

As per conversation Ill look in my dairy for a day to pop up to see you Scooby Projects or when its convenient for your self. I look forward to meeting you.
