just wondering if anyone has ever sprayed there whole mini with aerosol cans sorry its abit random but its 3.45am and i cant sleep any pics

I did the front half on one, had the paint made up in colour matched cans, rubbed it down with 1500 and then a bit of buffing and polish.
Looked ok but was not after a show winner.

ive done the front end of mine. got a local motorcentre to mix up colour match and rubbed it down gradeds from 80 to 1500 then sprayed it, it isnt a show winner but unless you look hard you cannot see it. i sprayed lights and font panel and scuttle. make sure you give it lots of laquer and let it set for two weeks before cutting it back. if youve got a haynes manual there is a really good bit in it about spraying with cans.

also my advice is to spray a complete panel to the seems because then it detracts attention from the area, i.e whole door or whole scuttle


cheers nic
goodluck
