If the paint is really dull does it mean a respray?
Or is there any magic that can be done to make it look shiny and new?

aye, catch ye later Red

Ah'm off to, got a days ferretin' ahead of me

VanMamber · Feb 17, 2008

The thing is that the original blue is lookin almost grey, it's that bad. So, the plan is get it looking shiny and then work on getting it to that dull matt colour afterwards, hoping that it'll still look blue.
Thanks for the advice, I will be getting to work!

Try Washing It With A Cup Full Of Bold 3 In 1 In A Bucket Of Boiling Water. Use A Sponge And Then Rinse It Off With Cold Water

YER CAN USE ANY SORT OF WASHIN POWDER BUT THE DORIS BUYS BOLD

VanMamber · Feb 18, 2008

Are you serious or just trying to get me out there rubbing down my landy for no real reason? : ) How does washing powder make the colour in the paint come back?

slob · Feb 18, 2008

the colour on yer paint is still there its just hidden under the smeg and scratches that have built up on it. like any polishing you need to take the top layer orf to get back to smooth shiney stuff

VanMamber · Feb 18, 2008

Great, well, I will give it a go
thanks

yella · Feb 18, 2008

dint ferget yer apologie and yer gratitude once yer have done it. remember to use boiling water straight from the kettle. you will need a pair of thick rubber gloves as well

Farcla G3, is flippin great. Used it loads and it doesn't fade again like T-Cut can. But i would only use with a mop as its hard work.
