When i first got my 156 there was a bit of curb rash as well as one scrape on the one rim. Now i have tried to source a place to repair this in Victoria Australia, but they're all expensive. Learning that I have tried to seek alternatives. One alternative I have learnt about over at audiworld.com is to do it yourself. I just would like to know if anyone else thinks that this is a viable options?
Use Plastic Padding as in spite of the others out there claiming this and that, I reckon it gives the best contoured finish, and is so easy to work with. Very rarely do I use any pinhole stopper when I 've used PP, just a fairly heavy primer/filler undercoat, then do a local blow in, with an airbrush, yes you have guessed it,: Silver Boots No.17 Glitter Then just a good clear lacquer. Glasso at the MO'. Love doing the wheel scrapes, keeps this old geezer spouting?
As you can see from the image there are a fair few scrapes that aren't major, but seem to of taken off the paint. that's not including the curb rash. I really want to get the whole thing cleaned up so i can have some real pride in the appearance of them. Sorry for the dark shots, it's dark atm.
Most imperfections seem to be superficial and can be just be cleaned and resprayed, but others have a small chunks out and will need putty etc. this includes the curb rash.
