Haha that wasn't a hint but thanks lol. No in all seriousness I've just fixed my airline so that's one thing off the list I think the compressor will be fine I just need a better gun with a 1.3/4 setup as my primer gun runs fine from my weedy air blower oh and a water trap at the gun!!

It was a wet, dull afternoon but Darren isn't one to be put off by inclement weather and bad conditions. So with gun in hand and a determined eye he went to get that colour down! (After jerry rigging the moisture trap and air lines together)
There was a few hiccups but the end result wasn't that bad, besides he likes sanding - he told me :P

Thanks to Dave for the automatic update I could get used to that lol

Pulled the car out today and removed the tape I'm very pleased with the outcome although lots of runs in the grey to flat out but there is plenty paint on there

Are you tinting the rear windows?

I must say, I was a bit skeptical, but that came out really good, I like the combination. +1 on the tinting.

Also I've started the flatting process starting with 1200 as there are a few runs in the grey and plenty of peel to take out the moving up to 2000 before a good mopping with Meg's 105 then 205

Impatient sh*te! I'm not giving you a hug if it pulls.
I do happen to have a fair amount of screen tint film if you fancy a practice before you go yourself ;-)
