with the stage its at i would suggest:
-dry flat with 400 (taking down any dull lacquer or paint)
-degrease or panel wipe clean
-1/2 coats of primer
-if not baking in oven,i would give full day to cure
-wet flat with 600
-degrease or panel wipe clean
-spray white 2/3 good coats
-again allow to cure
-wet flat 1200
-degrease or panel wipe clean
-2 good coats of lacquer
-allow to cure then polish with wet flat with 2000
hope that helps and if anyone else would disagree with these steps,please feel free to correct me

na me neather, they'r only slated by most because they say what everyone else says, ye they'r not for track use but the way i see it i'm not going to spend 300-400 quid on 2 coilovers when its more than half the price of the car!!! i haven't driven with them yet, but i'l let you know
