probably would have been better if I used rs mounts, as I imagine they would keep the bumpers more aligned and stop them going crosseyed.
 
As it was, this was just with the std bumper irons, and a bit of patience to try and line/hold them up straight. But happy enough with the result.
 
I have an ok front bumper if you need one.
 

Hey all!
 
Well the panels and welding were completed back in Feb, but its been waiting for a spot at the painter to start the sanding and paint.....
 
Hopefully soon as I would like a project to work on over the warm months.

Still no paint :(

you need to slip them some moolah mate!

I know right! He knows I have the cash sitting there waiting as well. I was hoping for a Xmas project to work on over my break.

Hey everyone!
 
Hopefully we are still using this forum?? or are the FB groups where we all are now?
 
A couple of questions if anyone can help.
In regards to the "semi gloss" black paint used, is that just a standard Ford matte/semi gloss colour used? I would like to give my painter that info if possible.
 
Areas of concern are the Rear panel, bonnet, GT stripes, door frames etc
 
Cheers, Kris
 

Hi Krusto,
 
Have a look through this thread, you might find what you're looking for, seems to be a lot of paint information in there  :)

There is also this thread

There was one where flat vs satin vs matt was discussed at length with a few photos but I cant find it, maybe someone else knows.
 
Let's hope FB doesn't completely take over, the great thing about here is the wealth of knowledge that can be searched.

Thanks heaps guys @GTV6 @PartTimeMK2
 
I noticed that I commented on one of the posts anyways haha. 
 
I will use satin for all the blackout bits, including the sills. I also had a blackout valance, which looked awesome, but I will vinyl wrap that part.
 
Bonnet and GT stripes will be painted on and not vinyl.

You're welcome.  There is also threads here that have the correct dimensions for the bonnet blackout.  There is subtle angles that make all the difference.
