Here are some pics and details of a recent project I completed. The fender liners were a bit of a let down compared to the rest of the car, so I tackled the job of refurbishing them. In the past they had been coated with some sort of black spray paint in situ, resulting in a poor finish and even overspray into the engine bay and suspension components (which will be rectified shortly). They were removed, painstakingly cleaned, the louvered liners were most of the work. I had to ensure all previous coating was removed and all the road grime and tar stripped. Once cleaned, wet sanded and dried, I coated them with 3 coats of a primer filler, before a light sand. 4 light coats of Stoneguard paint followed, and to finish 4 light coats of clear to seal. The result was worth the effort. Fitted photos taken at night with a flash so they look overly shiny but the finish looks great in natural light. All pics taken on an iphone, excuse the poor quality.

It was tracked the next weekend : ) These little projects are just for fun. I like tinkering as much if not more than driving.
Love it, just love it!!!! Fantastic work and another project for winter please post details of the products you used. Excellent job!
Now they are ready to get all dirty again. Just like building a sand castle. All that work to just so your kids can have fun stomping it out like godzilla. In all seriousness, nice job. They came out great.
Thanks everyone, here are the products used: Brake Cleaner - to strip tar and old paint (needs further scrapping with a paint scrapper and razor blades) Degreaser to clean Dishwasher soap Wet and dry sand paper P400 All Septone branded aerosol cans, picked up from the local automotive store. -Fiberglass Primer Filler -Stoneshield anti-chip coating -Acrylic top coat clear No fiberglass repair was needed which aided in the project being done pretty swiftly, most of the elbow grease and effort is in the prep and ensuring a nice clean surface for the new coating.
