Brad Stone Posted March 12, 2020 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
IainCameron Posted March 13, 2020 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....

My fibre glass nose and rear arches have been professionally painted. Like most things bodywork, good preparation is important.

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
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted March 15, 2020 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

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)

I put rubber edging strip on the fibre glass part. 2
Brad Stone Posted March 15, 2020 Author 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
