Painting trim with primer and VW reflex silver. Unfortunately I ran out of reflex silver, but I did get the four door trim strips done.
These are the four door strips. They’ve been primed and sprayed with reflex silver. I’ve applied 1/8″ black decal stripe to three. I think the black stripes set off the trim nicely. I’ll do them all and then give them a couple of coats of clear coat before setting them aside until I get the winter work on the rear doors done.
Next : I’m expecting the paint to arrive by next Monday and will continue with this job.
Meanwhile back with the C3, I bought an interior car cover from CarCover.ca. The red thing in the background is the tray from a used wheel barrow given to me by a friend. I’m restoring that to 🙂
It fits rather nice and is made of some man-made breathable fabric. I wanted something to cover the car when I get into painting parts in my garage over the winter.
It came with a storage bag and a kit to position an opening for the antenna.
It also has a feature to allow you to lock the cover to prevent casual theft. There is a reinforced grommet on the middle of either side that you can use to attach a cable and lock.
Unfortunately it came with a defect just behind one of the outside mirror pockets. I sent CarCovers.ca a photo and they are sending me a new one free of charge and I don’t have to send the old one back – good service!
