unfortunatly im doing it all by hand it takes for ever
itws getting there buddy your luck will come round.
bummer with the paint mate... i suppose its a good oppurtunity to spot and flatten out any imperfections.....
Quality mate, 100% for your efforts so far !! this thread is what made me want to paint my car myself, it's inspired me ! feel so sorry for you that it started raining !! gutted hey, please finish it off though, it's so nearly there hey, what was the plan anyhow ? i.e were you wanting to totally finish it off and drive it up ? or was the plan to finish the paintjob off and leave it there ? How old are you if you dont mind me asking mate ? lastly how did such a small compressor cope with that painting ? did it not just run out of air like straight away ?
nah able to do a panel at a time before it runs out, its running at 4bar instead of 2 its naf! well hard to get a good finish far to much pressure. im 24, dunno what to do with it looking at buying a corsa gsi for while im up here when the novas finished ill have to tax n mot it, wanted to put a bigger engine in but all my contacts are down there so will probly leave it down there for a bitQuote:
