Thanks guys

Jay, I was planning to spray it myself but I've fucked that idea right off now It will be done by a pro, not sure if I'm using spice yet though.

lil_g, I'll get your some pictures tommorrow of how I wired the popper in

Done some more work on it today The weather was crap this morning so I didnt start till after lunch. Got quite a bit done though!

First skim of filler on





Smoothed the first layer back. Had a couple of imperfections so I gave it a second light skim



Time for a bit of primer. Masked the back of the car up



After three coats I was left with this Really pleased with it. The line off the number plate recess isnt quite right, needs to be a bit more defined so I'll put that right tommorrow

suppose even if it does sink no love lost only the cost of paint, fair play for doing it yourself

Cheers mate, yeah its just a quick fix for pvs to be honest. The boot desperately needed painting so thought I might as well semi-smooth it at the same time If it does sink after pvs its not a big deal.

I took the car to a local sprayer yesterday to see if he could spray it for me. As soon as I asked him if I could see some of his work he got all up tight and refused Started having a go at me because he'd been painting for 19 years bla bla. Told him he can forget it! So im thinking about spraying it myself again. Got a decent spray gun and compressor just need to get the paint now.

Hoping to do some more work to it today before work as the weathers nice
