i read a tutorial somewhere and since then most of my paintjobs have been mint lol
it said to stop spraying when the paint looks deep and wet (ooer) any more after that and it'll run
a good few coats of clearcoat always help too

 

yea he has bought a black 1 of them evo mercs there sweet as i did see that 1 like that looks very nice ŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁŁ's there worth a lot now

u need to spray it some were warm or put a piece of card on your window sill and have the radiator on mate weather you warm the car or not the cold will damage the paint as its drying thats why they spray cars in a oven bud

 

yea i do that lol i just use the same technique as when painting real car parts lol but im allowed to use my spare room so im ok its always warm and dust free lol

pete can i have the xr3 spoiler lol answer me god damn you

im gonna do some f+f cars like you now ive got the bug lol

 

yeah spose mate,i learnt when i was a kid as use to always paint my bikes
ul get betta mate

 

ive found a big intercooler today
so that ment lets fit it lol on the scoobie.front mounted
also fitted turbo,cone filter & new pipes,it all needs painting yet tho.
& put abit of putty on the bumper

 

oh i forgot about this.been on the saff aswel
still needs loads of sanding & putty
i broke the lights so need to get/make some more




gettin to look like the saff now i think

 

yea alan you can have the spoiler mate lol just add a couple quid on when you pay for the evo and ill post it tommorow for you

roy the scooby looks mint, have you found a use for the police lights?

 

fuck me thats mint!

 

saff is looking well good now
dont think i'm up to that yet if i cant even spray lol

 

it al depends on what size these wheels are mate,if they off a 1/18 jada they no gud,many 1/24 jada will be spot on or ask dave of here.
the 2 cossie's u got have diff wheels,the minichamps 1 is a solid wheel & the autoart is also solid but the face pops out.
if you get the cossie wheels with the tyre's off,put them face to face(or messure them) with the deep dish rims u can see what needs to be cut out,sometimes the cossie wheels needs triming down as they have a lump on that holds the tyres in place (minichamps).
on most deep dish rims its just the spoke bit that have to come out,once out you can get the cossie wheel in & see what needs triming & that should be it,be careful not to trim to much or they not fit together.
hope you understand as i ant the best at trying to explain lol
