OUTDOOR CAR COVER NEEDED ASAP!!

Post by danny_duke01 »

Hi all,
My Fury is being delivered back to my home on Thurs afternoon and desperately need a car cover by then. It is just a freshly painted body with no glass fitted etc,so it's very essential!!

Any recommendations please??

Length = 18ft 2in
Height = 4ft 6in
Width = 6ft 5in

Thanks in advance!! :thumbright:

Build a shed or similar?

Outside = not good.

You might be best lashing up some structure then, plastic sheeting to keep the rain out and the wind will keep it dry.

Can you not hire a lock up or temporary storage in the interim?

A flapping car cover on new paint does not sound like a good idea to me.......

You will get dampness under the cover, when it get's warm it will effect the new paint, could go milky / patchy.


Also wind make the cover rub on that fresh paint.

Whatever make sure there is air around it, like the portable garage type. ;)

If its for security or to keep it at a lower profile I understand thats important too.

Also paint can micro blister with the moisture under a cover. I use a portable garage.

Thanks for all the advice guys...just for now i've got a cover for the roof & windows only,not a full car cover. Least it will keep the inside dry which is my main concern 'til i fit the glass back in. :thumbright:

Car cover wanted

Look up Carcoon. I will be getting one for mine when I get it. Not cheap but you drive in and seal it afterwards, it then blows air constantly around the car to dry it and keep the car spotless. If you get the Veloce version, is inside only but look at the specs wow. All the best. Vinnie
