Mike
27-02-08, 03:19 PM
Dont leave that wing to dry in the cold :thumb: and certianly dont leave outside over night tonight ;) if theres any frost or it drops below around 1 or 2 degree, the cold and/or forst will kill the gloss pigment of the paint and the paint will harden as a flat colour

Martin
27-02-08, 03:20 PM
dont worry mike.. am fitting it back on the car later plus its not cold lol.. hada sweat on lol

Martin
27-02-08, 06:08 PM
