Dave, that would be great a case of have a bash without to much outlay Just some paint, thankyou very much, Pat

its got to be worth a go Pat as long as you dont short cut the preperation it will look fine
You are only spraying a plain colour and yellow doesnt show too many errors and you can use green vinyl for the stripes -- sorted :)

Good luck - i look forward to seeing Skippy painted

Bit of a bugger I,ve said I'd work over the xmas break to help pay for the paint job could have used the time for preping, oh well got some thing to do xmas day now then and boxing day to work off the over indulgence sanding and sanding and sanding

I am intending to work on the roadster over christmas but thats only going to happen if it warms up a little - its hard when theres ice on the body your trying to prep

Erm, a link would be useful as I got no results for 'celley' or 'nuagane' on ebay, while searching 'car paint' got me about 11,000 hits. :ranger:

My preferred choice atm is going to be:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/280428788598?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

They also do five litre tins in any colour for less than eighty quid delivered, which looks like pretty good vfm to me.
