Time to rescure this thread
I made an A frame to hold the doors for spraying
Sanded down the hinges, bonnet, boot lid and a host of other smaller bits
And lastly got the doors shims painted matt black
Wood and Pickett time
4 Blooming hours of fettling before I was satisfied with the fit
Side views
Boot ready for painting
Door prepping begins
Priming
Engine bay
Back of boot lid
Bonnet, Number plate light, hinges
Inside the boot
We have BLUUUUEEEEEEE

Had a disaster today, I broke the spray gun 
Got it fixed though thanks to a mate lending me the parts I needed
Inside is done

The finances didn't allow me to pay someone to do it, it was my first painting anything on this scale and I was shitting myself before doing it
