you'll never get a finish doing it outside,   got to tent it at the very least.

chould have proably arranged with lee for you to borrow the workshop for an afternoon,  or bring some paint and plenty of beer may be possible to perswade him to do it if your prep is good enough  but i think i'm a bit far away

i would say the prep work is  nice and smooth but am sure a profesional would find fault lol its all rubbed back and primed , its only the sides of the car that i was going to do, and prime and paint the colour coded bumpers i have just got and t-cut the roof , bonnet, and  boot. as they are ok . i got a good match on some rattle cans and did some work with them but when it came to the top coat it was a sh!t and uneven finish so i have rubbed it all back and got 1ltr of primer, 1ltr paint, and 1ltr of top coat even got my mates GTI spray gun  just need a place to do it!! send me your post coded  ill see how far you are, how much would he charge?? its only the sides and 2 bumpers i want to do! i have spent enough this month on it the mrs is giving me enough ???? LOL
thanks Nic
