Thinking of painting my track car in the garage, Dan has inspired me, gear is not a problem etc.

Will either do base and clear, or 2k

not perfect far from but i painted it in the front garden

[MattBrown]

/\/\/\ Looks really good fella!

Bet your proud

Hmm, so just layer it on, then flat it all off? lol

[gtachorley]

Yeah plenty of paint then 1200 then I used some 3M paper or something of my dads then G3 then G10 then wax and polish took ages!!

[davidfox280585]

if direct gloss ie flame red solid coours just keep layering it on between 10 minutes per coat,
base and lacquers i just basecoat(colour) then a light coat of lacquer let it get tacky then hit it with 1 good decent thick coat of lacquer then a flat back and polish

[Vausey_Nova_Knotla]

Roller painted ;) would be ideal if its for track and not 100% spanking finish but not if you want show case finish and its cheap but hard graft

Everytime I see your car Dave makes me want a set of Mistrals, how is the driving going?

[SR-Rally]

Failed test twice now lol, over confident going for stuff they call "taxi moves" narrow gaps etc

Need to re-book it tbh dude, but the Nova wont be getting used every day, cant afford the insurance on both :(

[Lynsey]

My Nova was painted in a bloke's garage at the side of his house but I don't have any photos on this laptop so if you wanna see them you'll have to search dude.

[JackieNovaxx]
