[mini93]

so any idea of time it would take to do a whole car? i know this thread has been going a while just wondering if it can be done quickly but still good..wouldnt expect as good-a finish as yours

Including prep..... I reckon you could do it in two weeks, as you still have to be sure about the paint hardening, i leave it over night.

Gonna be a problem doing that as the weather is getting worse so it's gotta take longer to harden. Is it right it's dodgy doing it around the 5deg mark. I'm looking to getting my car done but think it'll be best waiting till the start of the nicer weather next year.

I don't have to worry about that as my garage saps heat from the house, winter is no prob as my garage will always be warm woot! PFFFFFT it aint gonna get down to 5 degrees in the next month or two mate, it's warm out now and is during the night too. Novemeber maybe might be a prob but i doubt that too. unless you're painting outside?!?!?!?! in which, give yourself a slap!

hehe very true. Shame my garage is in a block just out the back of my house. Not even got electricity so it's more of a barn I'm not ready to get painting as a few things need to be touched up bodywise so will be next year probably. But hey smiles all round cause hopefully there should be a little guide on how to do all this by your good self

keep up the good work as it's looking tops and the thread has to be one of the best on this whole forum.
