Thanks for the offer anyway lol Don't mind getting my hands dirty. It'll be nice to say I done it myself regardless of the finish.

Well Ive now learnt to not be so messy! After flatting back the watermarks from the rain I thought Id clean the car off the next day before painting. However the slurry had dried rock solid so yep, AGAIN, had to rub it down! Almost lost the will to carry on after this! Ive never had this before but then this is the 1st time Ive flatted 2k paint.
On a more positive note the shell and boot are now sprayed. And After rushing to finish (shouldnt I know) Got a couple runs. Nothing that cant be cut and polished though.











Like lots of cars Ive seen over the years, they mostly look better in pics than when you see them in real life and this ones no exception. Standard issue orange peel but nothing that cant be sorted. Ive made sure theres plenty of paint on there to allow for flatting back. Soon be time for some panels to go back on.
