well richie, my mate did most of the spraying,he let me spray a wing and 2 doors (he's teaching me how to spray) and i was to nervous to do the big panels like roof and bonnet, but we both did the prep work and masking on it one thing we couldnt believe ,was how thin the original paint had got.................we only showed it the 500 DA disc and it was down to bare metal Edited by shrekky, Tue Jun 1, 2010 7:28 pm.

Nice job, I'd love to learn to paint someday. Lucky that you've got that car to practice on before repainting the 190, eh?

Damp is better than dry, helps keep the dust down. Nice job, very impressive. Is that an HVLP system or standard ? |
