When it's all painted why don't you put grip tape down? Will look subtle and won't scratch the floor. Just 500mmx600mm?

All about funky colour interiors.
Did you see Joe's Corsa on the BodgeIt stand at Trax? Had the entire interior painted a midnight blue/purple and it looked awesome!

Nath, i know your a polishing pro but seriously be careful when machine polishing! Have you had someone with experience sort of show you the way! Learnt a fair bit about it at college and still managed to burn through paint! DONT GO NEAR THE EDGES!!

Ill be careful mate , ive been talking to shaun a fair bit and he seems to think you need to be a right elbow licker to do damage with a Dual Action . Ive also watched hours worth of tutorials . I know thats giving me no experience but at least i know how and how not to do things before i get started .

Haha oh does he! Well Shaun i must be a right elbo licker!! Noo in all fairness it is easily done if you use it wrong (i went all over my spoiler when i first painted it and went through trying to polish an edge) Also with wrong techniques you can end up putting more swirl marks in your car than before (like i did if you see my pvs 2011 pictures haha) But aslong as you take it slow, use appropriate techniquies, dont go anywhere near edges you should be good! Only looking out for you buddy as its easily done! Im obviously no pro but certainly helped when i was shown how to do it properly!
