20-07-05, 23:04 GMT+10#63 you are heaps good at spraying. I have seen the pics of your car and they look almost profesional. I will be giving mine a shot soon aswell, its good to see people trying things them selves. All the best for your mates car an i hope it turns out as good as yours, if not better. I would definately get you to spray my car!

25-07-05, 11:41 GMT+10#74 good work so far, I was going to respray mine before It was writen off. Good to see people doing things themselves, alot more satisfying when you can show it off and brag to people about doing your own painting. Its also good to see your doing everything, ei boot, insides of the doors.
Goodluck

25-07-05, 20:02 GMT+10#75 Looks good mate. Shame the owner of the car didnt prep it bit more (fixed the dent in the middle of the roof) but it came out well anyhow.

25-07-05, 20:18 GMT+10#77 so what exactly do you do for a living? have you considered painting? just making that out by pics and the quality looks pretty good... might have a decent liitle money maker on your hands, also the tax man is left pulling his c*ck while you spend that hard earned money on a turbo charger for your car...

25-07-05, 20:27 GMT+10#78 Looks good, but personally I would of taken alot more time in the prep work. Just looking at alot of stuff that seems to be painted over, I'd be there replacing it forever. Bolts in the strut towers, radiator plastic trim.. Fair few things here and there.. I'd personally have stripped it way back.

i agree, but thats how he was asked to do it, wont look too bad for a backyard job - opinions could go on and on, all that matters is his mate is happy with the end result, looking at the before shots i think his mate will look a little like this
