 Ford Escort - Ex BT Grey - want to bring back the shine - adamf
Afternoon all,

I have acquired a 1999 Ex BT Escort Van (In Grey) and i want to bring back the paint shine as it has become a little dull and also because i can see the outline of the BT man emblom.

Will T-Cut do it? Would a cutting compound like G3 and a buffer be better?

Any Ideas? (the cheaper the better)

Either or either will do it there isnt a quick cheap solution
Be aware this battleship grey was never meant to shine like a normal colour though
====================================
I could never understand how a company the size of bt could come up with a colour that could possibly put their workers at risk in bad light/fog conditions--------- nuts

It was delivered dull grey, that was the BT option.

Corporate branding.

Particularly since the change to bright yellow in the 1970s (?) was done after significant research to find a safer option to the previous 'camouflage' green. However a a spate of rear endings they discovered that it was necessary to paint a large black rectangle around the high level amber indicators on the larger vans!
