Cheers mate, My dad has a body shop and i've learnt how to do it from him so just got stuck in like I did on my saxo

[DAMSK11]

Small update, fitted the car in around other jobs for a short amount of time to get the door shuts etc painted. Full car should be sprayed some time within the next week if everything goes according to plan.

I see your going from black to white, how many coats you needing to lay down before you achieve full hiding?

The paint I'm using seems to be covering quite well, the door shuts will be left at 1 coat. When it comes to spraying the whole body it will probably take 2 or 3 to get it looking as bright and clean as i want it

Ok, cheers for that, i'm currently doing the same as you, inside and door shuts, then doors back on and do the body

[DAMSK11]

Pretty big update, sprayed half of the car today, sprayed the rear tailgate, all of the passenger side and the bonnet along with the fuel cap, boot handle and rings from the inside of the car. Other half, both bumpers and passenger door will be sprayed some time soon when they are ready. Starting to come together now

Cheers mate, using 2 pac paint

[Gabbastard]

Hope youre using a decent respirator! I sprayed a car ages ago with 2pack and nearly killed everyone haha

[DAMSK11]

Got some pictures in the daylight of the painted parts of the car today, also fitted some bits and pieces back on such as the boot handle, spoiler and ford badge







The rest should be sprayed this week some time hopefully

[iSlayeR]

Looks decent, I take it you didn't have the space to do the whole car in 1 hit?
