Re: xr6t blueprint paint problems

I haven't really noticed anything wrong with my brother's paint job on his XR6, but I didn't look too hard. There have been paint issues on a few BAs though, particularly with the Mercury Silver.

Re: xr6t blueprint paint problems

I have seen a Bluprint XR with paint problem's, it look's like it's faded in certain spot's, but it's not only Bluprint that I've seen it on the only colour's I havn't seen it on are White, Black and the darker Blue's but the silver's seem the worse.

My blueprint xr6 na had to go back to get under the doors painted as there was only primer - no other probs with paint noticed.
Cheers,
Tony

You will know it when you see it, just get it in the sun and think of zebra's.

Re: xr6t blueprint paint problems

I have a few inclusions on of the paintwork of my Blueprint. The inside ofthe fual filler isn't painted neither is the engine bay, but the undersides of the doors are.

I'd be happier if the fuel filler area was painted and ecstatic if the engine bay was.... but I guess it's the same for all XRs so *shrugs*
