Yeah I was it still going to cost me money though paint mixing and the drink to use his booth?The issues is I don't like doing something until I know I can see it through LOL. I did find an old mate who might do a few things for me, seeing him today so biding my time.

Thanks mate, means a lot..... just wish i had the cash for a respray like yours!!!! No worries bud, I know what its like to battle on a car and thinking about giving up and all that. Lots of respect for the hardwork! Things like this don't get recognised enough IMO.I hoping to finish off my respray soon, still haven't flatted it back and polished it Need to grow some balls before I touch it with wet and dry!I think you're right but i'm not too fussed with how much attention it gets even though its pretty much the only active MK1 build on here! For now i've given up posting on the MK1 owners site, hardly anybody says a thing, don't think I fit in not being a standard campaign and all but it never was and was never meant to be....I forgot you had to do that!... Yeah must be pretty scary with paint like that... I dont have to worry about that just yet!... my paint is a temp job anyway, bit like yours originally was.Shaun don't worry about purists they can keep polishing there over priced Gti's and do nothing you have save it and in our books that counts for far more than the dairy queens! Same here two weeks of doing sod all its just too cold and can't spray anything Jay

I wish I had used something other than black though.

I was going to do mine in Royal Mail postbox red before I got it sprayed. Was the cheap alternative
It seems really nice, I think you will have really good results with your project.
