[QUOTE="BlueMOB, post: 743103, member: 25948"] Wow haven't posted on here in ages! Got a pretty big update to post though... Got a bit bored of how the Micra looked recently and seeing as I don't have a lot of spare money for mods and the paintwork is already really ****ed, I decided to start ratting it and here is the progress so far! The first thing I did was sand as much paint off the fuel flap and drivers side wing as I could so they would rust: [ATTACH=full]48172[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]48173[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]48174[/ATTACH] Sprayed with a mixture of hydrogen peroxide, vinegar and salt which started to rust it instantly! I'm not sure whether to remove more of the galvanising to make it rust completely or leave it half rusted, half bare metal. I also noticed a while ago that the drivers side door has been replaced with a green one and painted blue to match the car so I sanded parts of it back to green to give a patina effect: [ATTACH=full]48175[/ATTACH] And last of all I painted the passenger side door in poundland primer which I actually really like the colour of! If I ever get bored of the rat look I think I will paint the whole car in this with matte black trims and roof: [ATTACH=full]48176[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]48179[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]48177[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]48178[/ATTACH] Gonna add some chalkboard paint the passenger side wing and maybe spray the roof purple when I get the chance... And I'm desperate for a roof rack! [/QUOTE]
