Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi Chaps
Im not sure if my 3rd brake light should have be a gloss finish, since iv had the car its had a satin almost matt look to it.
Me being a bit of a mag pie I decided to remove it and get some 2 pack clear coat on it.
I had my spray gun out anyway as I removed the leather covering I put on my door bin lids last week and sprayed them silver.
I did a good job of the covering but it wasnt my cup of tea.
as always here are some pics
Before
Door bin lids sprayed and clear coated
Ill post a pic when I get these back on the car..... wont be for a few days tho as its away for 3 days getting its wheels powder coated.
Thanks, I sanded off the horrible soft feel coating that Porsche applied with some 180 grit then sanded the 180 grit scratches out with some 320 then wet and dry 800,
I then applied some high build primer left it over night and then wet and dry that with 800.
I then sprayed on the silver 2 pack base coat then some 2 pack clear coat.

In saying that its not that hard to spray as its all in the prep
^ haha that's great! My dad's had his series2 landrover from new, been daily driven for the last 50 years and still going strong. Worth way more than my boxster nowadays!
While your third brake light is out, you might like changing out the 7 bulbs to LED's. I really like my light now it's much brighter. Which is a good thing. If interested the bulbs are numbered 194. They also make a part that you can attach to the wiring that will make the third brake light blink when on the brake pedal....I don't care for it personally, but some do....
