yea i agree it will make any imperfections harder to spot, just putting the paint on now and am happly suprised at how good and straight all the bodywork is, was not expecing it to be great cos i hav rushed the car at the end cos need to get all the cars done for end of april!!!
bodywork looks fantastic tho, i really like the colour!! sure lots wont tho, its definatly different, its called clemintine, and all interior is going to be done same colour, little more orange tho

dont really want to put pics of the actual car till i have done the wheels black, i can only do them when i can get them off cos i dont have a locking wheels nut key, thats another long story which should be sorted soon!!!
think the car is gonna look rubbish on silver wheels but once its on black wheel will look awsome, am gonna paint these lights black also and get another set for road use!! interior should look really overly bright also!

not even a sneek peek of the colour?
if its like the peachy paint on the floor in the pic posted previously then black on the wheels will suit it down to a 'T'.

Best bet is a propane or kerosene heater
kerosene is better
shit that reminds me i have left the heater on int garage
mine is insulated so it will be like a fookin oven now..... fooking hyundai will av melted
EDIT - well its -1 outside and my garage was about 40 degrees I bet the elecy meter has been spiining like fook, atleast the paint is well on its way drying

Had problems with frost ruining the paint, bough an air sander and stripped some parts down to the metal, decided i was spraying the car back up in stages rather than one complete job,
ideally i need a taller building and better ventilation as overspray is making the job difficult
