i get alsa gear from the states .... lol... any of there products u like i can get to save in shipping Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

finally someone knows of this stuff. fnta5y you have a pm. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

if spraying with acylic, do a few base coats in 50/50 (half pot thinner : half pot paint) once you rub it back, thin the paint out to 20:80 (80% thinners : 20% paint), this will melt the paint in nice and smooth, sand that back with 2000 wet then with the clear do about 30:70 mix (30 clear and 70 thinner) this will make it easier to get a nice gloss off the gun, and make sure you dont make it run!v

It may look good off the gun but acrylic paints deteriate very quickly, especially in the hot and cold climate we live in. Acrylic is a very high maintenance paint which requires constant polishing to keep its gloss level. For a quick cheap fix acrylic is a good option i guess but if you want something to last go for 2 pac. Basically you get what you pay for!

we all know 2 pac is better but having three cars to look after, not living at home and a 2 year old i think acrylic is right up my alley. i dont mind polishing it every now and then. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

looks great mate well done

thanks dave.

so all up. total costs, what u recon?

from point a to point b say roughly 400-500 including 3 bottles of polish and acouple of polishing pads.

wow good stuff!
