Right with FCS fast approaching I really wanted my car resprayed by then. But as I've run out of cash for a proper paint job in te next 12 weeks.
So do I take it to FCS in its beaten state.
Rattle can it Matt white. It will have a proper gloss job done in summer
Or rush a gloss job?

Do the roller painting thing and do it gloss white. I reckon you could get it looking sweet for not much money! Wink

If you're doing the whole car, don't bother with aerosols.

Get yourself a paint gun (these are cheap, but you will need a compressed air source) and just buy the paint from a local bodyshop. This will be cheaper and more effective.

This was the original plan for the gloss white paint job, but I don't think I'm going to have enough time before FCS to do a proper job. Might have to do a blow over on gloss and comeback and do the doors shuts etc after

Gloss white is boring and ghey.

Matt if a few of us came down to you, I reckon we could have the whole car prepped for painting in a weekend then it's just a case of painting. The actual painting doesnt take too long and doesn't cost too much. Most of your money will go on fillers, papers etc

As discussed before a few times I'd be more than happy to lend a hand prepping it up. I don't know much about spraying so will leave that to people who've done it before,but I'd be well interested to learn too!

Prepping isn't just sanding. Got to fill all the dents and scratches, mask everything, clean it all up. Prep takes the most amount of time.
Never used a proper spray gun before but pretty handy with a can.
