filler work is very questionionable and it may sink over time but may not.

alos paint work isnt the greatest but nothing a good flat and polish wont sort out.

Overall ok for space you had but still would question doing it if you dont 100% know what your doing but well done for having a try!

Maybe its not all perfect but at least you had a try.Wish i had the time and space,id love a go at this.

Ignore the bad comments,Id like to see them do any better.

Just use this as a learning curve and your next car should be a minter.

Come on half right. you are having a laught.
do you want me to start picking the car to bits? i think i could turn this into a 12 page thread.......
painting a car with a 50lt compressor would not like to think what pressure he was painting at, more orange peel than a orangina factory.

Christ, iv self tought myself, i aint no professional, its a hobby. I know to be able to spray cars u nned a proper booth, £100's on pounds worth of stuff. To be fair in the coditions i have i think iv done a resonable job. i know its not perfect, but hey kit, filler, fibreglass, paint ect has come to a total of £450. go to a bodyshop and they are gonna charge £1000's

Well im happy, my missus is happy, thats all that matter!

i actually think the paintwork isnt too bad for a diyer, its the filler blending work i have most problems with, there seemed to be no effort to even try to get it even close to looking right and for that alone its a fail imo

I do like the colour, and would have loved this style a few years back.

Well done for doing it yourself, I wouldn't have the balls to do that

you start by stripping the car to bare nuffiness

and prep prep prep prep prep prep! then if it's good enuff prime if not prep some more till it's like glass and you see no imperfections at have a look at how i done it all
