Mark's is going to look pretty darn sweet Irmy Steinmetz gear and a nice subtle colour to finish.
Look forward to seeing more progress

not sure if to sort it or sell it on as it is! didnt cost to much and if i did sort it and put bigger wheels and lowered it could be quite nice and make good ish money!! just not sure cos body work is in a bay way!
door shuts been painted by hand!!!! and the shine is non exsistant! white celulose orange peel i think the colour is called!!!

given them planty of coats, only 2 on the bumpers cos they dont really need any primer just to get them same basecolour as the rest really!
the areas where i have filled have given extra coats!! will be rubbing it down in the morning i am planning, going out to mask up the car now! c wot time it is may paint the rest tonight! feeling tired already tho, hehe

right i been busy..............
last night got home at 10:30
masked the car up and then painted the primer on the mirrors, boot and the car!
then rubbed down all the parts i had painted earlier in the day!
this morning i have moved it all around, painted a shed full of parts and then rubbed the car down now and wiped over to get rid of most of the water!
off out now, here are some pics tho:-
colour is very nice

there is no limit to the amount of primer so long as you let it flash off between coats. the idea is to get everything nearly perfect before primer so you don't need to put so much on to fill imperfections, keeps the costs down too
