Ive done a guide in the guides section mate.

You can use your C/L motor in the boot as the popper to save buying one.

I'm smoothing the side strips and front bumper then it's getting a third coat lol.

Any close up pics of the finish? I've only ever seen 1 car painted well with a roller ( and as stupid as this sounds, I've seen quite a few) which was a brand new focus RS and he put a shit load of work into flatting and polishing it!

Will get a close up pic when it's done. Tbh I'm probably going to wait a couple of weeks to harden then flat it back so you can't tell it's a roller job lol

So did I. I loved moonstone but my bodywork was f*cked. Got a quote for a respray and all the dents and scuffs fixed and it was around £1500 mark. And tbf this paint job has only cost me £30ish quid so far Big Grin

If it meant skipping the hassle of tracking down decent bumpers, I wouldn't have minded haha.
On that note, I need ph3 bumpers if anyone has some Smile

It's more like a freshly painted wall haha. It's not to bad tbf but only problem is is there are lines from the edge of the roller. As the roller slowly f*cked up.
