cossiemk2 0 Posted September 4, 2013 Update on progress so far Due to helping my mate work on his Sunbeam Tiger which from a rear arch repair bottom corner turned into a major rebuild! It look ok before we started. This put me back the first part of the year, but now the Cortina is finally in paint. Had a nightmare with silicones. I think due to autoglym super resin polish I used a few years back,it's a right to remove it all. Pete. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GhiaMk4/5 207 Posted September 5, 2013 Superb :thumbup: , what did you do to get rid of the sillycones, got problems with my GT, and that funnily enough has had the same polish treatment, have panel wiped and Barcoated, but still some areas aren't right for painting :headscratch: any advice appreciated as it looks like your issues are far behind you now, do like the look of your motor and the wheels are perfect :winner: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cossiemk2 0 Posted September 7, 2013 Thanks for the comments,sounds like you have the same problem as I had. What I did was wet flatted the affected panels first,cleaned down with brake disc cleaner,then with Wurth silicone remover, and lastly panel wipe. I presume you are using 2K paint, you can get silicone additive to put in the paint. I've used this, and sorts the problem out. Pete :cheers: . Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Danish 294 Posted November 3, 2013 red, 2-door, with a Cossie-YB, this has to be the perfect Mk2. If I was building one (and I do have a plan to someday) this is exactly what I'd want! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
