    Id be very tempted to get the final respray done by a proffesional. If it isnt prepped properly and not done in the correct environment it will not come out as well as it should.

    If you've done most of the prep work yourself, it shouldnt cost too much to get a respray.

    Must admit its coming along fairly quickly and you seem to be doing a decent job (although you cant tell with camera phone pics...ask santa for a digi cam! )

    you should have delocked the doors while you were at it neil and possibly dehandled too. tut tut.

    Just remember the imperfections in the paint job on your other one mate... save some pennies and get somewhere good to do a reasonable job on the final coats.

    At the moment the work that im doing is practice for me, the doors didnt cost much and its time i did some body work ect myself, so perfect time to do it. On my other nova i had a body shop do ALL the work so this time i want to try it myself.

    I am really skint and cant afford a propper paint job at the moment, so im also doing it on the cheap, i do know about cutting costs in the long run but im ok if i want it done again.

    Ive removed all the windows and winders etc and going for the Perspex route and metro seals.

    its for practice - so you should have done it just to say you could. or you could have been really swish and oved the handles to the bottom of th door or something .

    ''Looking good''.

    Is it fuck, it looks like junk!

    Obviously i'm not saying it will be that when finished. But it is very likely.


    LMFAO at ''wacky WEARhouse''. And i don't just mean the spelling.


    Keep it up, it's funny as fuck! Still, at least you're learning something. I hope. But then, who knows.
