  • Me gusta to the repaint!

    Altough I'll have to say I can't understand why anyone would voluntarily remove the roof rails on an E36 Touring... it just looks strange without them. *shrugs*

      You could get them from BMW without roof rails I believe...

      I just prefer it, a big uncluttered and shiny roof will be IMO

        • Some more progress pics in the shape of an update from the guys themselves - I'm also popping over again this afternoon to drop my front arch liners and a few other bits off that I forgot the other day (doh!).


          We was asked why did we not remove the rear and front windscreens?
          More of a question was, why do you need to?

          Everything which can be un-boltable will be removed to assist the job.
          However the front and rear windscreens are glued down which means cutting out with a serrated cable. Easy job to do however as you can imagine, when you drag a serrated cable across a metal panel and glass it grinds and chips away causing some damage.
          Then after you've removed the glass, you'll then spend a few hours scraping out the left over adhesive just to get to the gutter which is un necessary painted.
          Further more glass can't be stuck down to a freshly painted surface as the paint needs to degas for a few days otherwise you'll risk the customer finding his windscreen may pop out as they drive home.
          Bottom line is if it aint broke, don't fix it.

          There are different levels of resprays which we do ranging from individual partial panels to total a total strip down to the bare shell and sprayed.
          The only time we remove the front and rear glass is when:
          -the glass it's self needs replacing.
          -a total colour change and the car is being sprayed inside and out.
          -repair work is needed in the window guttering it self and the glass is obstructing.
          As you can imagine, the cost greatly varies depending on the task from £100 to the sky's your limit if you want your engine, glass, interior, transmission, front and rear subframe, suspension and entire electrical and fuel cabling.
          It all depends on the job spec and how much the customer is prepared to pay which is why we always give a detailed consultation explaining what we will and will not do depending on your budget and for us to advise what's necessary or not necessary for the particular job.
          We don't offer a flat rate budget £800 respray like the local phil, bob and paddy because we know every job is different and should be done with great care and attention to detail.

          What we've done with Bens car is remove all the removable weather trims and blasted all the dirt out. What's left on the car is totally sealed so there's no dirt build left unattended.

          Since we've primed the doors, we've removed them off the car ready to be sprayed.
          With our adaptable booth, everything was hung up and the car rolled in and sprayed.

                    • More news from RT!

                      Firstly lets take a look at the paint work after it's been polished and all shiny
                      The flared arches are no longer wavy and bumpy. The reflective surface would make it easy to see wavy dimples but after we're done with it, the arches are totally smooth.



                      Again special attention to the lines of the car and close ups of the more angled surfaces.
                      Not a single paint run or over spray especially along the belly of the car.




                      Now remember the massive rust patch at the A pillar? Despite having to grind off a chunk it's like it was never there.


                      And I don't think I showed the worst par before. The rear wheel arch where the skirts covered the biggest rust patch looked like this:

                      Now after grinding it off, treated both sides and sealed the inside and painted

                      So then the front and rear bumper goes on. First of all I would like to say I find it really weird that most of the panels where held on by spire clips and self tapping screws. When putting the front grill on which mounts to the wings, it didn't quite line up. Turns out the bracket holding it down was bent so I removed it and with a few adjustments bolted the bracket with a M6 hex nut and bolts, it lined up much better.



                      The fresh grill and new fogs:






                      one thing I simply had to replace was the push plugs. I replaced all the plugs with reversible plugs



                      Now the bumpers are on and starting to look normal again.
