Ok not so much an update but a pointer to anyone else wishing to give this a go…
When filling the lip, for gods sake use a flexible filler or use mastic, not silicon as this
will not bode well when painting…
The reason for me mentioning this is due to the fact its taken me 2 days to fill, sand
and paint. I used a standard filler and every time it dried and i sanded them they cracked
or came away from the outer rim, i have filled and sanded 3 times now, 3rd time i used
the flexible filler, this was also a pain as i had already filled with standard stuff, I should
have started all over again…
So, i have now managed to bodge job them and paint them, using 1 can of primer and 3
cans of white gloss, i had to fire the paint on thick and fruity to try to fill and cracks
that i could fill…actually it got to the stage where i kept saying to myself “that will do
there good enough” and hoped that the paint will cover any discrepancies lol
boy was i wrong…
So to cap off, Make sure you use a decent flexible filler and get the sanding as smooth
as you can, will make for a nicer finish…I know i will have to do mine again in a years time lol :oops:
