Back to black

The trouble with smartening up a couple of body sections is that you then tend to notice the next shoddy item in line. In this case I reckoned the corroded rear wiper was letting the back end of the car down, so I reached for the satin black aerosol.

The corroded aluminium base of the arm was cleaned and rubbed flat and treated with acid etch primer, followed by high build primer, then satin black.

It’s small details such as these that can transform the overall appearance of a vehicle and, in this case, all for the sake of half an hours’ work.
