The red raptor I had spare turned out to be off (had been in the garage for about 2 years). I ordered some more as well as another bottle of black and some more of the buzzweld RCP and WAR underbody stuff.

So yesterday I managed to finish off the red properly and remove masking. Pleased with it. I think its a deeper red than the first time, even though its supposed to be the same RAL colour.

 

 

Then attacked the front end behind the winch bumper with RCP and WAR topcoat. lovely thick stuff   Bumper got a dosing of the rust convertor stuff to work its magic while doing the underbody bits.

 

While the winch was out and everything else getting smartened up I decided to do that too. Stripped it, etch primer and then a WAR aerosol 'signal red' this time (was a lucky dip aerosol from buzzweld). Its come up well too...

 

Then more black raptor on the bumper and bonnet plates to smarten everything up:

 

 

and I know I keep saying this... but its going back together next weekend hopefully

Or a different brand 
Looks good 
Mine needs a paint job 

Raptor mate, I have all the gear for it and am used to using it now. You can borrow the compressor setup if you want to try your hand at painting yours with raptor. Pretty cheap and easy to do. A 4 bottle kit should do the car if your not changing colours easy enough. £84 black or £107 any colour at buzzweld.co.uk for a 4 bottle kit...

Look forward to seeing it in Wales....

Thanks mate, hopefully it will last this time    Lesson learnt about proper primer and suchlike now hopefully. 

I think it looks bigger because of the external cage which goes onto the bumper. Its not actually much wider.

Yours is nearly a full cage now and has the nice big, wide Keithy spec front arches, a fine choice 

Thanks for the offer to borrow Pal 
Could you tell me the set up you're using i might go and buy one 
Thanks
