UPDATE - New skirt prepped up

Here's a few pics of my skirt after getting it for the bargain price of £12 at my local breakers

Thanks to everyone else who tried to help here tho and offered me theirs

Skirt being sanded and prepped for primering

Paint stipper used before this. Great monkey halfrauds products shown

Then wet+dry paper used from 800 grade upwards to about 1200 grit to ensure a smooth finish
for the primer to bond to

First layer of primer

Second then third layers of primer on and smoothed ready to paint

Sorry bout this last pic as its crap quality

2x300ml Grey plastic primer @ 5.49 = £10.98
1xpack Wet+dry paper assorted = £1.99
Paint stripper and some Isopon P38 + P40 for the bargain price of £3

Total spend today of £15.97 lol

Tommorow's plan is to go and see silver_saxo and get it painted up with some custom made up paint to match

Then give it 3/4 good layers of decent, deep + glossy lacquer

Will be fitted tommorow night and the car given a quick cleaning whore session for Sundays guilford meet

Cheers for looking everyone

NEW SKIRT part-2

Had to get a custom paint made up at halfrauds in the end, which actually was a really good match and looked subtle but good in the end results

Side skirt laid down after 3 coats of primer and being sanded, ready for the first coat of paint along with some other bits which i decided to do while i was at it:
~Heater grills
~Speaker grills
~Cigarette lighter element (dont ask why LOL)
~Pull out tray compartment
~Heater control knob
~Heater control sliders
~Fuse box cover (then decided against it)

Most of my kit

Every piece laid out sanded and ready for primer

First few layers of paint done ready for one more then lacquer

Every component laid out painted and ready for a some lacquer

Some finished results after two/three coats of lacquer

Components on the car

Everything looks much better and more obvious on and in the car in the flesh and can all be seen at FCS

Sorry for the quality of some of the pics as the conditions/light wasnt great most of the time!
Side skirt is all finished and ready to fit but on Sat 23rd, night before the SE meet it wouldnt fit straight on so i will modify the mounts to fit soon and get some more pics up

Cheers and enjoy, comments welcome!
