Could this be one of the 1st Norev Capri's to be re-painted???
mate top work your done there, very quick but i would of waited till the black one came out then done it to that one as the one your done was a limited edition but its still really good work and it looks smashing well done mate.

the engine looks spot on for what i need it for, what do i have to do to get it? lol

capris smart by the way! dont let the fact its the limited one it bother you, the blue and orange are awful colours lol

heres some pics of my scooby too for anyone interested, it just needs some numberplates, ive got loads of autoart STi numberplates somewhere just cant find them lol.




engine bay and underside are colour coded too. i could do with another one to rob the lights and windows from as these ones are a bit scruffy, but it was bought broken with bits missing anyway so im just glad ive made something out of it.

You are spraying too much on, do plenty of dust coats to build it up, will give a gloss finish after 3 or 4 dust coats, then 3 coats of laquer
