Project Carbon 4x4

Thanks for the replies people I thought Hammerite because I was thinking powder coating wouldn't last long under the car?

I'll have a word with you about that on Sunday.

Powder coat looks lovely when it is done and it is hard wearing although it does chip easily. Unfortunatly when it chips it allows corrosion and water under the finish causing the corrosion to spread and lift it off. The epoxy resin is supposed to stop that happening as it bonds to the metal better.

Try www.rust.co.uk as they sell it. There is a full description of how it works on their site. I have used their products before and they are excellent. An alternative is POR whch can be bought from Frost Auto Restoration but it is expensive.

I got a call from cobra today saying there was a few seats that have been sent out with the wrong holographic sticker or something and they think one of them is mine, so I've got to take pics and if its wrong send it back. so ill take the opportunity to see if theyl send me another seat with the same carbon pattern.

a blessing in disguise eh

I wonder if one set is faulty then and there covering there arsses. A good bit of luck that though and make sure they cover the cost of re-posting ;)

Well I have taken the pics and sent them off also asked the question about swapping one I them so there identical, just have to play the waiting game now lol and yeah they'll paying for the shipping David.

So I got a call back from cobra today, it is one of my seats that have to be sent back for the sticker to be changed which is no big deal as there still in the packaging. Also spoke about swapping the seat so both will have the same weave pattern which they can't do as the seats are made to order and there isn't actually a defect. No Big deal really.
