Thumbs up Excellent !

Cheers Alan, exactly what I want to see :agree:

I know within those few line you wrote, it cannot represent the number of man hours it takes to get where you are today with your car. I am starting to appreciate more the work required to get a car 'properly' painted. I had one quote by a very reputable VW painter in the UK at £4000 UKP +taxes (17.5%)

He sent me a work sheet for a customers car (diary), showing work carried out and how long. At a resonable hourly rate that he'd quoted, it seemed a fair price, but not for my pocket (just could not justify it). So hence the leaning towards me having a go.

I may bow out of actually laying on the paint (restrictions on a location to do it) but I am inclined to prep the car as much as possible before handing over for a final prep n paint.

your car has given me inspiration PRAISE THE LORD !!!
