thanks for the comments

i agree £400 is a bargain but i only paid £100 for the car and ive done quite a few body repairs to the car, being just a keen amatuer there are some imperfections which is why i went for satin.

the job is good for the winter, i have enough materials left to do another car so in the summer i could flat it and spray on a coat of the same paint (another learning curve)!
