It should be tough being enamel. Does it spray well?
Yeah its pretty forgiving so we will see.
Hopefully you get some good weather to bake it in to really set it.

What the hell are you going to do about those tyres sticking out?
You have buggered up, you put some of the newspaper upside down.
What a bastard of a day. Had Jiujitsu this morning so got.into the tent at lunchtime. 35 degrees in there easy!
The bloody tape was peaking off from last night and I still had half the car to tape up. A couple of hours in the tent and all taped.
Sweat running off me and the change hit. Still hot but the wind is off its head. Pissed. My drop sheets a blowing up all over the car and i can't lift the tent off the roof as I'll risk losing the tent.
Called it. No paint. Gutted. Was the best day. Damn it.
See h9w it looks early tomorrow

Bar work and rubber flares. The bar work has been built to sit at the edge of the tyres. Beast mode mateQuote:

Righto. Big weekend.
Drove the GQ last weekend to a mates farm 5 kms down the road where he has kindly offered me his shed to paint the car.
Needed a clean up but was a space i could work with.

Back to business
The car sat out in the sun for a few hours while we set up the booth and taped up. The panels where nice and warm for painting.
Into the booth and finish the taping and cleaning with wax and grease remover and tak cloth

Haha. Yeah it was. The cop shop is basically at the end of my street damn it. 10:30 friday night. Naomi in the GU drove up the road and back then i pulled out in front of her and we drove in tandem out to the property. The GQ had head lights but no tails. Was over in a couple of minutes. Had plates on.Quote:

i'm running two pac white on mine, its pretty scratch resistant. and touching up is easy.
