That clip on handle for the spray can is a great little gadget Gary. I think I'll have to get myself one!

PS. I think you should do the arches too when you've mastered your air compressor

Hi

Must admit does save the fingers

Here’s a link as well , when I looked on ebay I found the ones that clip on the outside of the can better

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Repair-Plastic-...Sw93NcyASy

Thks as indeed seeing the wheel arch trims just clip off thought using cans then might get very expensive

I got a SGS 50 litre compressor and it came with a gravity spray gun , imagine it’s not very good

Thought of using the same type of mat paint I’ll use on my front bumper , so with all the panels removed can spray the lot all in one go

Put the air compressor into an old speaker box to make life easier as it’s on wheels and store it under the stairs , did get a longer 3/8 hose

Installed larger 3/8 isolating valves and a dryer , so one for dry ie, like spraying , / tyre inflator , other side via the oiler / pressure regulator for air tools

Then fitted a dirt trap , moisture pipe

So a massive learning curve for me but really enjoy doing things like this

If it will be simply to get the same Matt black paint and use thinners , alas though don’t mind putting my hands up and saying I’ve not got a clue and that I don’t drive everyone nuts in asking

Alas don’t know if I’ll have to buy another spray gun or the one I’ve got will be ok

Won’t be doing this for a while

Is this the part that you refer to Gary?

BTW, I had one of the same pullers (the cheaper one) but it collapsed under the stress of trying to remove the wipers. Just gave them a couple of whacks and lots of lanolin spray and they eventually yielded. I might have said some stern words as well.

Something for others to consider is that if your vehicle has the RAI fitted it is difficult to remove the scuttle for refurbishment without removing the 'A' trims. I did consider doing it in place but did manage to remove the scuttle without the 'A' trim pieces having to come off.

But, and it is a big but, the two outermost yellow clips were unable to be put back on when reassembling.

Thanks for the 'how-to' for the rest of the job.

Hi

Indeed , wished to clean it off abit and found these dremels ideal

Just thinking of how I can paint it without covering the lettering

Might get a thin piece of metal then letter stamp it , spray the winch then glue the plates on , well in theory

Same also happened with my puller , but got there in the end with the HD ones
