    Have you cut the floor around your units?

    Surely it would have been just as easy to take them out?

    Make sure you get it in a warm booth for as long as you can before putting any paint on mate, it'll be damp as F at the moment, it'll be in any filler and primer that you've put on in that tent!
     
  17. I'm masking it in the oven sat morning in my shorts he leaves it in there for a good while before painting in the afternoon mate
