Royal Blue ZT 190 Ex Scrap Yard Resident

Maxfly · 4th July 2020, 17:10

The paintwork on my ZT has now been corrected and 2yr ceramic coating applied. Paintwork was in a pretty bad state but she has come up great. Pictures below of before during and after treatment. Just a pity the sun has decided it is a bit shy so still waiting for a decent sunlit after shot. Hopefully the wheels will be refurbished next week in a different shade of Anthracite to what they are currently.

Cheers folks, happy with the progress so far. This site has been invaluable for the advice contained within. Many plans for it but money as always the deciding factor

Give me a wave if you see me Rav, pretty sure I met you years ago at a meet, I might have been in my ZR then But sure you had a Tomcat?!? Might have been Falkirk but not sure, think I was with big Kev .

Although I gave the headlights a quick clean up soon after getting the car they were still fairly poor and the fog lights have been cloudy on the inside along with the indicators being dull and rough feeling. So today was bumper off, stripped apart the fog lights and they cleaned up nicely, removed the indicators and gave them a go over with wet n dry then polished up. Finally moved onto headlights and used the Holts Headlight refurb kit to get the headlights looking far better. Before and after a below:

Lot's of elbow grease to get her polished up like that. Proper job as they say in Cornwall. Well done sir.

Cheers, can’t take credit for the detailing work as got a local Detailer to do it. I would never have got a decent result unless swirls and holograms are the order of the day lol. Just doing this bit by bit tho and well please with the difference just cleaning up the front lights made. Hopefully come spring time it’s break open the box of rust treatment goodies I have and get the underside looking respectable. Plenty other bits and pieces as time and money allow, really miss having a decent exhaust but it will come lol.
Just planning using this thread as my progress thread as I remember to update it
