Picked up my exhaust today! well chuffed with it and it was a bargain! Nice little drive to south london longest I've ever driven in my car but she didn't let me down!

that looks very similar to the exhaust on my corsa and a bit of autosol will bring that up very nicely or autoglym metal polish will do just as good

Prep them the same way? Don't they end up going flaky?

Rub them down until they are smooth, prime em, spray em, then lacquer em, I'm presuming that's what you were going to do with your skirts?

Just keep using lighter sandpaper until you think its smooth. I think there are plenty of guides in the Help Zone about it.

Be sure to use plastic primer if you rub down to plastic.

Yeah there is plastic paint, would be better if you used that I'd say. Old owner of my new car used ordinary paint & it's all cracked & chipped away.

Haha I did body repair and paint at college too (painted the corsa in my avatar) he must be talking about plastic primer, providing you use that on any bare plastic it will be Sweeet
