Default Another £50 paint job attempt!

Hi guys,

been looking at the $50 paint job thread for ages now and ive finally decided to give it a go.

i know that alot of you guys dont like the idea of the roll on paint jobs, im a skint student in the UK and we dont have cheap paint job places like macco over here looking at about $1200 cheapest not including bay or jams over here. So please if your just gonna flame dont waste your time posting here. On that note CONSTRUCTIVE critisim is very welcome



So far ive just done a test peice and im about to start final sanding / compounding / polishing / waxing to get the final result.

Test peice before



First few coats



Few more coats



Few more coats!



Now








And the supplys to sort out the bodywork before i start on the car




Wish me luck!
