Mr Towed - Mik1Mo - Mikmiglia --Please PM me your paint codes

No paint code with mine, it was a Jawel 'pure silver' cellulose kit bought from ebay -

After taking advice from Jawel about spraying it onto fibreglass, all I had to do was give the car a couple of coats of etch primer before two coats of the high build primer they supplied then about a dozen coats of the silver.

Considering it was shot out of a cheap gun by a total novice sprayer (me), it went on really well -





Total cost for my diy spray job including all primer, paint, thinners, two spray guns, compressor and loads of wet 'n' dry was.....


£275. :peace:
