Well following on from the parking damage debacle I've spent several hours off and on wet flatting ,mixing and touching in the chips on the two doors . Champagne pearlescent is a bitch to blend but getting there .It'll always be seen ( by me anyway ) but a bit more time should almost fix it.
I've three different blends of Z489 and all are different . Having to use a " lighter on the angle " mix with a hint of silver and lacquer combined to get it close.
Worked on the Freelander as well after the " three amigos " appeared this week. These are the hill descent, Traction control and ABS dash lights which signify a problem with the ABS components normally . All sensors check out OK so need to delve deeper. Can you believe they appeared when I went to drive off to the NCT test ( MOT ) . Fortunatly it was a retest after it failed on bushes last month so they didn't say anything.
Even in the garage with gas heater on full it's bloody cold .
