MJ, if you buy a can of spray paint I think you could make a very good job of it yourself.

If you imerse the can into hot water before you spray, it will come out in a finer jet.

Rub down between coats with fine wet and dry (wet) and keep repeating the process.

Finish off with spray laquer, heating it again first.

You will be surprised at the result.

Thanks AA, now that you mention it I actually have the Vx kit consisting of a paint spray can and clear laquer can (bought it with the car 5 years ago, never used it and forgot all about it!), but come to think of it I might as well simply get any-colour flap from the breakers - dark colour preferably - and then rub off the old paint and re-spray. No point in exercising this on a new Vx flap... So does anyone have a dark-coloured Omega breaking...? I'll post also in the 'bits wanted' forum. Thanks for the advice...




PM tunnie, he's always down at the breakers yard.

Thanks for this, the hinge looks different than mine, I guess that pre-facelift and facelift are not the same after all... :(
