Thanks for the encouraging comments!!!!^ 0

But I shall carry on documenting got the car all blocked down ready for top coat rolled it outside for some better pics









Then lined out the garage with poly as a make shift spray booth



Just need to find the time to put it in paint

Refitted the seam strips ready for painting and seam sealed at the gutter to aid water running down the strip not inside it. I had problems with one not wanting to stay on so I tiger sealed it on and got creative with some wood to hold it in place



Did the job so tiger sealed the rest on lets hope I don't need to take them off any time soon lol

So as always things never go to plan after having a few small reactions in the drivers quarter and trying to fix them numerous times I decided to strip it back



Then reprinted it and blocked down again and then today got the top half painted









It looks better in the pics to be honest there's a few dry patches and lots if dust that needs flatting out but I'm pleased to have got this far on my own

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









So there it is

The car is all flatted down to 2000g and I've spent a few hours this evening making it look like a spaceship

So I may I screwed my paint it seems when I was wet flatting that something was on the osier that I didn't know was there. The paint looks good in the pictures but once you get close there are scratches all over it that can't be polished out





And a reflection shot which is perfect no swirls or holograms



But this is the damage done and it's all over the car not too bothered about the back and sides I can deal with it on the gray but the black roof needs to be to a good standard



Going to try some abralon discs see if I can get them out without going too deep
