I've had a match done by them on a near new astra! considering its supposedly easier to mix a match for newer paint than older paint you would have thought they could do it, and considering they have a bloody computer to do it for them, how could they get it wrong? Well they did, the bloody match wa...

Hi, I had the same problem with my Holdsworth Villa 3. The graphics were badly faded mors so on one side. I tried using a hairdryer, worked ok but not enough heat so I ended up using a hot air paint stripper. You can peel the graphics back while its still warm, but be careful you can burn your fing...

I would think so. Any primer that has a 'build' quality is what you want. It fills minor dots, spots and scrapes left in filler quite well. Cheers, I'll see what halfords or the local autoshop have got to offer... Dolphin glaze is brill stuff for final finish. The reason its going wrong tho is your...

Personally I prefer it without the graphics. Friends have also made comments that it looks better. (that could be because there's no faded graphics to look at). The paint hasn't really faded but I have "T" cut the edges to try to blend in the white. It looks ok but it will need more time ...

Is halfords filler primer any good?

I have done some filling on the van..however for some reason the finish of the filler when dry is coarse! So I ended up doing another layer only to find that's much the same! I've done golf ball size filler with a pea of hardener, which has worked in the past. The temp seems to be mild, no wind..so ...

My local Crompton tools do this paint but they have about 4 different...

I know to get rid of badges on cars that are stuck to the paintwork you can get a hairdryer and a creditcard and remove them..but is that the same with the holdsworth graphics on the same of me van???? I will show a pic if it really helps but as the graphics are deterioting in places I would just ra...

Just Kampers currently nil stock the blue hose.... expecting supply Monday next (I think it said). Can't find one of those NRV's though, C.A.K. tanks is one possiblity. Reminds me of ...
