what i had to do was push it out of the garage and paint one side then push it back in and paint the other. the problem was pollen and dirt. So it needs a good polish, but even if it messed up, i know now my painting is good, the finish im well happy with.

That came up real nice, I've painted a car in a tight space like that, and can appreciate how hard it is! 

Well done!

its hard to see int eh pics but i only buffed one side of the roof, and its come out really nice for what it was! There is still some marks, but itll do. The roof is the part that you can see, so with the rest of the car im sure itll look good. So try and paint the front i think next
