Alex, sent a few mate, be nice to see it when yer done, hope they'll be some use, aint had chance for any decent photo's yet, as for the car, glad to be of service m8  ...

and yeah, that's what i do, hence my car, only id've painted it better if i'd had premises at the time, but were only opening up next month, as i've only just found decent premises....

So two pack isn't that bad if you get a mask??

I really want a metallic red color but im aware that its being painted on a mk2 which realistically wont be worth that much in the long run

At what stage are isocyanoates released during the painting process, ie/ during the use of primers? base coats? and the final clear coat? or just during certain stages??

IS there stages i can complete for example then get a pro to do the actual painting, as i understnad the vast cost of a respray is in prep

if you use a high build 2k primer, thats thats got iso's in it, because it has hardner, 2k base coat is just thinners, so is not so bad, then laquer has hardner in it, and same also iso's, 2k solid basecoat, ie plain red/blue etc, that has hardner and iso's, here's a pic of a saxo i painted a couple of weeks ago for a mate, in his dusty shed, with a crappy little 50ltr compressor and a basic spray gun of his, i wouldn't even use for primer, it's done in 2K....
