All brake lights stopped working so that's been my morning. Bit of a head scratcher to diagnose.. I was thinking electrics corrosion down under but turned out to be the conductive strip on the tailgate window had a bad connection and was knocking out all 3 lights!

Re-sprayed my bonnet checkerplate this afternoon! Fairly long & monotonous job but very happy with the ‘after’

Thanks Tobias, I’m chuffed with it! I’ll caveat first by saying I am in no way an expert on all things paint, and there’re no doubt plenty of others here who actually know what they’re talking about
I first cleaned it (deep clean) to remove all the dirt, mud, grease, oil, etc I dried it I sanded it down with some mid-weight sandpaper I then did 2 coats of primer Then sanded that down once dry Then finally I did 2 coats of matt black paint. I used these two from Halfords. About a tenner each. Click image to enlarge |
