VW Split Screen Final High Build Primer

We finally managed to get the last coat of high build primer on the main body before we start the endless task of rubbing down all over again.

Unfortunatley we ran out of paint for the doors, tailgate etc so having to order some more in but it will be in soon.

Not long till we decide on a colour.

VW Split Screen Bumper Preparation

The front bumper is the original, the rear unfortunately was beyond repair and as originals in good condition are hard to source at realistic prices. I went for the better quality after market replacement from Alan Schofields they are nowhere near the same quality as original but will have to do.

The rear bumper just needed the black nasty paint removing before i covered it all in etch and then sprayed the internal in stone chip to give it some added protection.


The front bumper took a good day to rub down there was so much paint on it that I was going through pads like nobodies business but finally got to bare metal, treated the rust spots and gave it a good dose of etch primer before again spraying the internals with stone chip.
