When I left school (1996) I trained for 2 years in Motor Vehicle Body Repair because at the time I wanted to be a paint sprayer and was advised that this was the route in. Enjoyed that time but decided that I didn't want to persue it as a career so took the IT route and I'm now an IT Manager lol

After doing this project it has reminded me of the hard work involved in body repair and painting, I've enjoyed it but have been spending every spare hour for the last 3 or so weeks working on the car. I'm knackered and feel like I've hardly seen Sam even though we share a bed lol

Seconded. Will be good to catch up with you at PV Kev :thumb:

Great Progress! Looking cracking!

Been mega busy tonight!

I was delayed with painting because of the crazy rain we had, the gazebo leaked and we had to do more mods to it!

We had a roll of damp course lying around so yesterday Sam and I put it over the top of the gazebo frame (but inside the gazebo cover) to prevent any water leaks.

Today the weather was ok and quite warm so when I got in from work I went straight out and did a few last minute prep tasks and got the paint gun out!
I did have some probs but I'm fairly happy with the result, the breather hole on the gun must be blocked as it was building up a vacuum in the paint can and not spraying very "wet". When I realised what was going on I kept releasing it to let air in and managed to progress, put it this way, once you've started painting theres no backing out!

6pm tonight:
