you cant go wrong if you can paint and aslong as theres no runs then it will polish up and theres always colour sanding to remove orange peel
fair ****s to you lad its easy enough to spray anyway :)
Got all that ahead of me mate - Not going to be a MINT paintjob but at the end of the day the car isn't going to be MINT - As soon as it's on the road it's going for a good blast to see what it's like lol
It's not going to just sit there and look pretty...Unless the bank balance says otherwise haha lol
Picked up another very good nick brown carpet set with NO centre console and NO centre console hole :) Perfect!!!

Very happy with how they turned out for only having basic knowledge atm, couple of wee nicks need sorting and some scratch marks rubbed out but apart from that I'm happy :)
Can't wait to get it completed! Also got my battery leads from a PNG member and got them rigged up today and had the engine turning over as well
Going to get some plug leads and make a temp fuel tank and hopefully fire it up!!! Sounds like it wants to go but I'll know better when the engine's more complete
Comments welcome
Cheers, Vaughan :)
Looking good, but check the swage line where the bumper would meet. (not picking just trying to help.)
I think you need to be a little more critical with the arch lip & the line above the wrap around of the bumper. I'd be happy having done it myself, but with a wheel, bumper & paint that line wont have much definition or straightness. Just my opinion.Quote:

It looks a lot better in person and doesn't look too bad with a bumper up against it :)
