Brad Stone Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 As per title - yellow Westfield Aero screen plus mirrors. I'm converting back to a windscreen setup and don't foresee using this again. Fantastic condition. £220 posted via parcelforce. Collection available from M24 - Manchester. Brad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IainCameron Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I'm sorely tempted, but my car is (will be) Navy Blue. Do you think the yellow part would take a blue paint OK? I have zero experience of painting fibre glass/ gel coat, so I don't even know if it's possible.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My fibre glass nose and rear arches have been professionally painted. Like most things bodywork, good preparation is important. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @IainCameron As @Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO mentioned above, it's all in the prep. A good wash and sand (repeat) and a prime and navy should do the trick. I haven't done this before however but have seen great results on other cars, and in fact boats as well. Drop me a PM me if you're still interested regards Brads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Any colour GRP can be painted any colour, it’s all in the prep (and to a certain extent choice/quality of materials, when it comes down to longevity etc) Once any part is primed, they’re all primer coloured, after all! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drop me a PM me if you're still interested regards Brads Thanks Brad. Before I get too excited, can I just check that your aeroscreen/ mirrors combo are IVA compliant? (Not too worried about the little rubber bolt covers etc, just the main set-up) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put rubber edging strip on the fibre glass part. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Stone Posted March 15, 2020 Author Share Posted March 15, 2020 Thanks Ian K - I wasn't aware of that regarding smoked element of the screen. A few more pictures now the screen is off of the car... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
