Car Forum / Ford / Ford Falcon / February 2004painting and bumper cover question
I have 2 different quiestions so here goes: 1) I have an early model EA falcon and need to paint the two panels that go over the wheel arches, is there any fast way to sand them back to bare metal?? and can i spray paint them in the open air or do i need to do it in a garage? How much would it cost to get the whole car resprayed in Monza Red or could i choose another colour?? 2) My bumper cover is sagging on the left hand side(there are a lot of EA's that I have noticed with this problem) how do i go about fixing this(i was told about a clip on the left hand side which is supposed to have come off but it has not)? Can of paint stripper will strip the paint off to close enough to bare metal and the rest can be done with sandpaper. A whoe car respray cost I can't help with. I usually paint myself. Choosing any other color than the color of the current body will cost a substancial bit more. If the bumpers plastic and the heats moulded it? There is no way fix it but a replacement non-droopy bumper. Escort RS2000's suffer the same issue on their nolethane front ends.

You'd buy a showroom condition EA for that price alone. > I have 2 different quiestions so here goes: > 1) I have an early model EA falcon and need to paint the two panels that go [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > told about a clip on the left hand side which is supposed to have come off > but it has not)? > bare minimum 2.5K for a decent full respray in the same colour, Is your EA > worth that much to you ? > > You'd buy a showroom condition EA for that price alone. Out here in the sticks (central-weat NSW) $2500 only gets a very ordinary EA. Good looking ones still fetching circa $4995 (gotta onclude that little $5 diff!) It doesnt rain much out here so rust is usually not a factor, but front-ends can knocked about a bit if rural. I let an XC alloy 250/4.1 manual 5 speed slip by for $600, plus an XA -GT lookalike with showroom paint (GT-Orangey colour) for $5k. Trouble was it was a 302 Cleveland with BW auto. But it looked great. Jason > > bare minimum 2.5K for a decent full respray in the same colour, Is your EA > > worth that much to you ?
