I'm not doing the actual paint out of the gun bit but I am doing most of the flatting, filling, hammering and other general prep work. I'll probably be doing most of the cutting back and polishing after the top coat as well. The actual painting I'm leaving to my mate Marcus who does it for living, if I did it I'd spend the next 6 moths rubbing all the runs out.

Still impressive. I still can't do the very basics just to get me by.

I think I actually had a chat with Marcus a while ago about doing the engine bay in my old shell
