Really good thread this, dead interesting watching the transformation from Red to Black
What's the paint that you are using ?
just plain old matt black spray paint
ebay
its sprays really well and has good coverage although I am having to keep the cans constantly warm in this weather, also using a trigger that fits to them to save wearing out my fingers
So much for me not spending any money on the car though (sorry wife lol)

Looking great
Impressed by your tenacity in this weather
Thankyou, I was dressed like the michelin man but my fingers felt like they were going to drop off. would be great to have the luxury of a garage, my driveway is covered but quite narrow to work & had to set up a tarpaulin at one end to stop the snow blowing in.

I'm nearly happy with the results, the front could have done with a couple more thin coats & I'm not really happy with the bonnet but the wind finally got the better of me, If anyone else is planning painting with rattle cans then buy a can trigger, its worth its weight in gold

looking good from a distance lol.. dont forget to notify the dvla of change in colour,are you using a satin clearcoat on top ?
Thanks, I need to get the v5 posted off this week. I did think about a clearcoat but the car looks quite good as it is so maybe pushing it by trying to clear coat as well, I've used 22 x 500ml cans so it has got a good layering of paint
