There's a ton of tips & tricks & education links about car paint spraying on youtube.

There's a link from this little vid www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFoCvT7eHYc on the "more info" link that takes you to a UK Ebay store, and the buyers reviews seem quite good, £2 for a DVD seems pretty good to me.

His mullet cracks me up though, aparently he doesn't have it anymore, but people are asking for him to grow it again because it's so funny  :grin:

I work in a bodyshop it's ok doing your own prep but unless you know what you're doing you may well end up with problems later down the line (micro blisters, bubbling etc).  save up!  there's nothing worse than having a beautiful job that turns bad a few months later.

I have paid this week on a mk3 £1000 to have:

Both sides sprayed, rear quarters, doors, wings,
Bonnet, Grille
Both Door sills repaired, one welded, and one rubbed back and repaired.
Both Door shuts sprayed.

That is without having the bumpers, roof, and tailgate sprayed. But a top notch job.

They should just pull off the connectors mate.

Do the have the type of connector you have to squeeze like the three temp sensors on the head?
