Really, some of these guys are unbelievable. I hate relying on them it always pretty much puts a downer on a build. Alan at AGM has now sold on his moulds and retired too. Seems Equinox is the only "known quantity" supplier now, but they aren't cheap.

Bollox, AGM was my back-up plan

I actually got an email today offering me a refund. Would much rather just get my bodywork.

The thing that puts me off Equinox is a certain bloke that's always going on about how great Equinox are, calls his car an Equinox Roadster, has Equinox stickers plastered all over it, yet claims he has nothing to do with Equinox

Would this be any good? Just spray it like you did with your bonnet and then get your refund.

Nooooooo, I don't want to spray anything like I did my bonnet.
I made three attempts, each worse than the last!

I just don't get painting

In a few weeks when I have cleared the floor in my workshop I want to spray my chassis with etch primer, this means I will be turning my build area in to a 20x20ft spray booth . As your not millions of miles away would you like me to paint your panels in a solid 2 pack colour and polish it for you?
