tell me about it, paint was just bad on the outside of the car just so orange peely which i can understand cos of all the flakes!!!!
but the door shuts are a total mess, they are still going to be orange peely after i have painted them, i spend good few days rubbing down and they are still not smooth!!!!!before car was just painted outside the car and left the door shuts, so it was basically just black basecoat with some random flakes sticking up everywhere!!!
i am confident the paint job will be alot beta than it was!!! total nightmare with the lambos to paint the door shuts cos doors wont open to get to it and stuff!!! not a nice car to paint, to fiddly! a challange tho!!!

hi mate, i rubbed it down after one coat of primer cos i was tired when i did it and so got few runs and just was not to good!!! rubbed it all down again and ready to do basecoat i hope, going out in a min to finish prepping the car and do basecoat black!!!!
also the door shuts are a right pain...............there is no easy way to get to them at all, doors off wud have been ideal, but like hitman says they are welded on!!!! so no joy there!!! will do the best i can, will try get some more pics up latter! iaz
