Supra-Woman Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 Did you decide to remove the rear wiper? I'd have to agree about the back wing. I can't see anything out the back screen! Yep i have had the rear wiper and ariel removed Although they had forgotten to remove my rear washer jet thingy, lol, but never mind its not the end of the world.

Supra-Woman Posted March 18, 2008 Author Share Posted March 18, 2008 Well it has certainly been the unluckiest year for me this year. Put my car in for respray the first week of January waited weeks for it to be sprayed, left it looking beautiful then went up a week later and the colour had completely changed, it turned a browny/green/orange so I am gutted. Car is having to go through insurance. But onwards and upwards, i have decided on a different colour I have been in contact with House of Kolor and they would like me to exhibition with them at shows when the car is finished, im guessing that will be the shows in 2008 the way things are going Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supra-Woman Posted March 18, 2008 Author Share Posted March 18, 2008 They are unsure what has happened and blamed the paint manufacturer, but then it is easy to blame someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 It's so easy to get it wrong when you're using mad candies, pearls and whatnot. I had a bike painted up years ago that was supposed to be pillarbox red with a blue pearl over the top. I had a test card done and it looked fantastic. When the guy actually did the bike, he put one extra coat of pearl on it and the bloody think came out pink! You wouldn't beleive the amount of stick I got riding that around.

Bryan_Jones Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Sorry to hear the news. So is this going through your insurance or their insurance? Surely they realise it's wrong and re-spray it without hesitation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackie Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 That colours stunning, Absolutly beautiful EDIT: just seen the bad news, It was stunning, sorry to hear that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackie Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Pmsl, i dont intend on spoiling it, i like the veilside hence why no-one could change my mind about the spoiler!!! Its staying, just needs spraying the same colour as the car, tehe http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a293/SpankySerenade/supra030.jpg Sorry for the double post, You stick to your guns, Veilside is getting rarer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra-Woman Posted March 19, 2008 Author Share Posted March 19, 2008 It is going through their insurance. I dont really understand how the insurance process works as the car as been taken to another garage where work will be done but waiting for insurance to give them the nod, but surely if 4 garages quote the one thats chosen gets the work and start straight away??

Supra-Woman Posted April 8, 2008 Author Share Posted April 8, 2008 Just to give you guys an update, the insurance refused to do it so the garage is having to pay outright. The car has now been taken to Bodyworx in Higham and work has started again....... but a colour has now been confirmed, Candy Red over Ice Pearl Gold, fingers crossed it all goes well this time round.

Supra-Woman Posted May 4, 2008 Author Share Posted May 4, 2008 Still not got my car back but shouldnt be much longer now, fingers crossed i can pick her up next weekend. Few pictures to keep you updated: Last weekend: This weekend: I have been told they will be stripping and painting the calipers Tuesday, waiting on mesh for front bumper, then putting the rear screen back in. Once taht is all done it will just be a case of making sure the car is clean both inside and out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
