Default Another car done..........

Did another car at college this week, nothing 2 exciting had 2 respray the passenger door cos it was scratched and the bull bar and rear bumper, but due to the laquer we used making the door look darker had 2 spray the door then blend it into the wing and rear door and re-laquer the side of the car!!!

Silver is a bastard of a colour 2 do

Cor blimey didnt expect ppl to be wanting work

U aint seen it upclose

Joke!!

Jase could prob do it but would be best for me 2 do it at my mates place if he lets me as their all monkeys at college and we cant work on cars after hours

Andy/matt can talk 2 u about it no probs, althou rusty work = weldin so might be best gettin K to do it mate.
B19bal not sure on a price for a blowover thou would have 2 let u know, not done a complete car yet but u dont know till u do it i guess!!! and if u aint got a set time to do it in then obviously gives me a bit longer case i fucked it up

Toe Knee

Give me a 8 weeks to get some more parts then we can sort it out.
You can have the car as long as you need it, theres no rush
(as long its not 2 months) and just give it me back when its done.
Just finishing some engine bits and i need to source a couple of doors, boot lid and rear bumper

Its good to see that a lot of time has gone into the masking up part of it, the number of times i've seen cars that have had work done and there's overspray everywhere do to the fact that people haven't bothered to mask up properly. Top looking job

Yea init, loadsa hours went into that car shame it had to go but had 2 cut my losses and sort my finances etc will have another one thou no matter what!!! Really miss it now the Xr2i aint the same

Fuckin nitemare doin the prep wprk/masking!! but yea as u say overspray is a pain in the arse and ruins a job so pays to take time and do it properly, learn that from mistakes already lol.

Cant wait to be doin it as a proper job rather than at college and earning decent money, been fed up recently when ur doin Ł300+ spray jobs and gettin Ł55 a week for it is a bit of a joke

Jase no worries mate would have 2 see if my mate will let me use his place but wouldnt take 2 months to do it luckly i aint that shit
