Try the yellow pages, and dont complain about EMA i was something like 1 month out of the age range to recieve it so had to get a job, but im now at uni so i get student loan LOL

 

[ben_summers]

well i dnt even get it they wont accept my mums credit award notice!!! so im living on jd sports wages lol.

i was thinking of spraying it myself how easy would it be? obviously i gotta do it indoors get a good quality finish.

 

[Matt]

have you sprayed before?

 

[ben_summers]

no bt i know someone who does and he has shown me alot of times its just a time consuming job when u do it properly

 

[V0NST3V3]

Yeah, just takes time and practice, there is a good tutorial on here for spraying interior parts, so basically follow that but for a much larger area on the exterior of a car. Think there is a good tutorial on the halfords web site aswell.

If you think you can do it well then its worth a go, otherwise leave it to the profesionals.

 

[ben_summers]

yeah i will do it myself i havent got the money to gt sum1 to do it for me i guess i will jus take my time with it one weekend.

The thing ive learnt with spray painting is take your time and dont rush

 

[Steve]

I have sprayed a fair few things myself now - most recently my spoiler so if you need any help, advice etc just give me a shout mate :thumbs_up:

 

[ben_summers]

one thing i do want to know is it true tht if u have the metal indoors where its warm it takes the paint better?

 

[Steve]

Yea don't do it in the cold. I did mine in the lounge of the flat (won't be telling the parents about that one since they own this flat lol - i covered up everything though ) that way its room temerature and will give a better finish

 

[ben_summers]

cool cheers mate i will do it in my mates garage heater on and the sun blazing lol.

 

[Steve]

yea that should be fine mate.

 

[Steve]
