    Awesome thread Carl, just spent the best part of an hour going through it as somehow not really paid attention to it previously!

    Keep it up :thumbsup:
     
  5. Looking good.:thumbsup:

    What did you use to spray the gravitex? Did you buy the expensive Upol gun or will a generic one fit the bottle threads?
     
  6. Just use the normal one £8 one on ebay
     
  7. Yeah just used a cheapo gun from ebay, think it was about a fiver. Then the upol stuff was £9. Not too bad :)

    Theres a couple of runs around the rear vents and a few here and there, so i'll let the paint dry over night then see if i can get rid of them. Then it'll be 1 more coat on the top half then ready to paint the bottom.

  14. Is the colour Pastel White?
     
  15. Looking good carl
    I wouldn't leave the bottom half in primer over winter though it will soak up moisture from the air

  17. By the way... Does anyone know if the 1st coat of paint needs to be flatted back before the next coat?
