    i have been doing bodywork and spraying for bout 8 months and found that it is more practice than wot you really know in your head , the more you practice tha better you get as every1 is different , your technique could be totally different to sum1 elses but the overall finish could be exactly same the same astha other persons , its just the way you choose to doo things (there is no wrong way)
    me and a freind decided too have a go , he has bein doin bodywork around 20 months naw and i have being doin it around 8 months , he is 18 and i am 17 we modified his 1.2 clio as you see above in his back yard (not a garage or a bodyshop) we spent around a month doin it and it turned out like this


    tha car didnt come out too bad too say 2 teenagers had dun it :D tell me what you fink
