Well as promised here is today's update.
First of we demasked the car and there is no other word for it ! The roof if just porn -




Then we masked her up ready for spraying the drivers side and the rear -










And then there was nothing for it but to start painting and it looks smashing -












Then i made a little mistake with the lacquer on the A Panel, This will be flatted back and re done tomorrow -


That's todays work done, The forecast looks good again for tomorrow so i should have all the spraying finished by then
That means ill get to demask the car and pull it out into the light. Very excited

Please let me know what you think
Thanks again

Andrew.

I'm normaly a lurking type on most threads but for a DIY on your drive job that is awesome!! And very confidence inspiring. Is this your first time at doing it or have you done it before? I will be using the same 2k with clear but more forgiving white lol do you have any tips and what gun did you use cheers darren

[Andrew O]

It really makes me smile when up I get comments like that Dan, Thanks for taking the time to read through my thread.

Minidarren83 - Thats very nice of you :') It is my first time doing a full respray myself however I do work part time in a spray shop and have consequltley picked up a good amount of experience. You can't really go that wrong spraying white, It's a very nice colour to hide the imperfections.
I used a 2.0mm HVLP gun for the High Build primer, a 1.4mm HVLP for the base coat and a 1.3mm HVLP for the clear coat.
And my advice would be get the prep right, Spend as much time as you need sanding and flating, If you get the prep right then the spraying is the easy fun bit

Thanks
Andrew.
