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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next : I’m expecting the paint to arrive by next Monday and will continue with this job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It came with a storage bag and a kit to position an opening for the antenna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

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!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
