My Nova Project

you get a different shade of paint when the panels are on there flat, my dads a sprayer and he had told me that panels need to be sprayed the way they would be placed on the car, you dont get runs if the paint is put on layer by layer

Doesnt matter how the pannel are painted, and trust me you can get a run in paint at anytime by putting it on to thick.

Pillar, the paint looks to have come out very nicley considering, and think how much money you've saved yourself hey, you say it was just e-bay 2 pack yeh ? what compressor and gun you using etc... nice to see this as i was considering if i could get a good enough finish doing my paintjob diy but i've now decided that i'll do it myself after seeing your project, looking forward to seeing the whole car once it's all painted up ! brill !!
