Well..................

I've just spent a fair while reading this post, and the results are just remarkable!

I'm not the biggest S2 fan, but what's been done to this car is nothing short of top notch.

Fair play, and I'll have to have a proper look round it at a show next year.

Niecly done!

Ok time for an update ,got the underside of the bonnet into paint today ,and i am very pleased with how it came out .
Spent some time fixing up some sheeting on the walls and dividing the garage up into a booth
Hung the bonnet on the wall to paint.

Looks amazing

What compressor and spray gun do you have? I am looking to get my own and start spraying some parts.

How long did you leave the primer before you sprayed the rosso on it?

Its just a run of the mill gravity fed gun for the colour and i use a suction fed one for the primer ,think both guns were about £50 ,only for my hobby so dont want to spend lots on a gun ,the compresser is my mates one in his garage (not sure of the size ) its about a meduim size ,will look next time im there,as the inside is wet on wet just left the primer about 10 mins before shooting the colour .
