Dreamr Posted 30June, 2021 Author Report Share Posted 30June, 2021 Just a quick update. Primer was applied and it was block sanded. Second primer coat applied and will be sanded again. Next step is to remove remaining panels and glass. Then the 2 x trays in the bulkhead will be sorted and redone, ready for paint.

Yeah, I could immortalise (murder) the apprentice with the hole saw, who in 1990, placed the aerial hole too far outwards on the front guard of my 964, causing the aerial to ever so slightly lean away from the car, using up all the adjustment available and still not being correctable or vertical. I filled it in on the 928GTS when I painted it, much cleaner. But hey it’s different with an Audi I guess….🤪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to get any gutter rash sorted and then I'm in 2 minds about which way to go .. 1. Paint / coat them in silver as per factory. 2. I found these that someone else had done and I'm quite taken with them (see photos). Basically they had all of the crevices painted black and the surface in silver. I'm slightly torn as I prefer things to be factory but I really like the other look. Unfortunately I don't have 2 sets of wheels or the funds to do 1 of each, so once a decision has been made, I'll let you know. micknine01, James P and JWM 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The paint is phenomenal and the black jewellery has been painted from its faded 40 years on the car and really looks good against the red ... All in all, really happy. I’m guessing that Covid has played a part in the progress as they are quiet so have been able to spend all their time on it to turn it around.

An option to consider is have the wheels done in silver and then use the Plastidip product to spray the hollows in black (low cost) but a lot of masking. You can always peel it off if you decide otherwise or then go to black paint if you decide on the best look. Dreamr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know right .. how good do they look with the black. I like the idea from @9fan with the plastidip, but as he said, would be a ton of masking. The dude I’m using is local to me. I’ve known him for 20 odd years. Ive been going and helping with the fit up for the past week, so having an extra pair of hands has certainly helped. He’s also been very quiet due to Covid, so this job probably came at the right time for both of us. Him for the $$$ and the work to keep busy, and me for the turnaround time. Just got an email from Germany letting me know that my seats have been made are ready to send ... another piece of the puzzle nearly ready .. 😀 9fan and KGB 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
