on a mission tonight wanted to get car painted so its one less thing to think about, rubbed car down this morning before work and then in afternoon inbetween shifts!!
then finished work tonight at bout half 9 not bad and got home and cracking with the car!!!
cleaned it all up, damped floor, and black basecoat is on :-
dont most of the coats of the flip on now also, just wanna try get couple more, or just one!!!
then hoping to laquer it tonight also!!!
get used to painting a car so becomes natural which way to go next so should do it now while its all fresh in my tired head!! hehe
here it is in black basecoat:-

main reason is cos i have lots of work on and my last day off from normal work was about 12days ago and next day off is 7days away so basically will have worked almost 3 weeks every day, did 76 hours last week at normal job, so need to do cars at silly times!!!!!
think i could be rough at work tomorrow

well i need to raise 60k or as near as i can get for buying 50% of the lease of pub i work for end of april so trying hard to raise funds so it makes it easier when we take over and less pressure to pay back a larger loan!!!
the last 2 resprays i am really happy with, getting beta and beta, not one run in last 2 cars and putting alot of paint on, its strange how u just keep improving even tho u are not trying to do anything any different, its all gravy
