This customer came in with his Focus ST225 asking to have some trims gloss blacked. I explained because theyre textured plastic they have to go through alot of tedious work to achieve the smooth gloss finish.

Trims were removed and prepared with 320g/red scotch, degreased, and put into the paint booth ready for paint.

Started out with plastic adhesion promoter, giving that extra grip between the plastics surface and the first layer of paint material, ensuring we have no flaking occur. They were high build 2k primed (unfortunately i forgot to get photos 🥹), hand sanded with 500g then back into the booth to be degreased, basecoated, and clearcoated. I left the first wet layer of clear to flash off and become sticky before applying a final thick coat.

As you cant polish/buff these parts due to how intricate they are, relying on a gun finish is absolutely critical, the perfect amount of paint, thinner, clearcoat, hardener and more thinner, is needed. If i went overboard with too much of any of these, it would ruin the peice and mean starting all over again. This HAD to be a one hit wonder.

A lovely addition to this already stunning white Focus ST 👌

Last night i was up for hours and hours watching people on instagram/tiktok/facebook reels who are doing much ‘better’ than me. Who have the money, lifestyle, and success around them. Things we all dream about. And i asked myself, why can’t i have that? I work really hard for it. But it never happens like it does for them.

Two points to make.

One. There are ALOT of people with alot less, who would DREAM to have a fraction of what i have. I need to learn to be appreciative of what i have, what i’ve worked for and earnt, and understand that having ‘stuff’ doesnt define the person you are. As the saying goes “tough times make tough people”.

Two. Nikki Lauda said it right when he said he “winning and losing, winning is one thing, but out of losing i always learnt more”. And i carry that with me, because i look at those winners and i always want to chase my dreams. Sure on a way smaller scale than being famous at anything, lets be realistic. But winning for me is looking at something with absolutely no fu***ng idea, learning about it, executing it, and MAKING it work. Not just giving up because it didnt work the first time. Why do racecar drivers keep racing if they’re not all coming first place? Because theyre all learning from the winners.

I started from my mums garden shed with nothing but a spanner and a dream. If average kid fresh out of school can do it. you can do it.

Alot of people in this world lack guidance and drive. You cant rely on anyone else to do it for you. You have to dig, and when the shovel breaks, use your fu***ng hands. You got this. Dont stop. Go get ‘em kid.

Peace and love 🤝
