Talking AUDI A6 Refreshment

Soooo I decided to do something about my A6 4B before the summer hits Sweden!

Photos will mostly come from my iphone until the project is finished!

So here it is, just a basic wash-day, nothing special!


Bought dark RS6 rims and scratched them ! I had to repaint my rims til the next summer! Choosed BMW's Sepang Bronze


Here's the result!


And then... I removed the rails, the car automatically got lowered!


Removed all ugly things in the paint, rust etc... and after the weekend it looked like this!


And now, after more removing off ugly stuff in the paint it looks like this..


More photos are coming later!

Comments? Ideas?

Got the "new" tailgate because the old one had to much rust! painted it red inside (original color) to match the rest of the car!

Thanks.. it's really lighting up the concrete enviroment hehe!
Yeah, but all the details on the car is black so it kind of creates a "theme", red & black!
Do you know if they sell that stuff international? Im living in Sweden!

Your car looks pretty sweet on the pic.. got more?

Looks awesome! too bad that the roads in sweden are a bit bumpy, can't go that low all the time!

Got some new pics today!

Got some new clearcoat on the.. black thing so it would match the rest of the car's finish!


And painted the rear-view..blablabla things matte black to match all the black details on the car!

it looks like on the primer and paint, the handles didn't get removed. Did that still offer plenty of coverage and no sticky handles upon drying?

Just curious really..

The handles isn't sticky at all and the coverage is good! there's a tiny space between the handles and the door so it went just fine! Because it's pearl I had to paint the whole car with everything on! I'm satisfied with the result!
