erm.... no thanks Ronnie :D  
what i should,ve done is let my kids do it for me, they couldn,t get any more paint on themselves than i have:eek: 
i can now see why spraying or powder coating seems like a nicer option:D 
i feel like i,m painting the Humber bridge:eek:

i sprayed mine it was still a grind to do getting in and out of all the tight gaps.  i made sure the paint i used was satin effect as from past experience it seems to touch up better than matt and gloss.

I'm using good old hammerite, wire brushing then painting in stages, I can totally relate to it feeling like it will never end.

When thats all done I've a garage full of home made "bits" that need painting. Electric orange though, hope thats not a problem.:p
Edit: There's a little airbrushed sign on my garage wall saying " I hate paint" so I can relate to your feeling Andy.

if i see another tin of black paint i,ll end up with a nervous twitch :eek: :D 
can,t wait to put another colour onto the car, had 1 of the side panels on the other day & i must admit it looked great, thankfully its orange not black :)
