had my first go at spraying today...... (pic)

i decided the glovebox lid would be a good thing to practice on....
cleaned it up, smoothed a few bits, couple of coats of primer and a few coats of cobalt blue.....

it's far from perfect but i'm happy at my first attempt!



at the mo i'm looking to do two-tone cobalt blue and chinchilla grey, i've not sprayed any of the grey yet, so not sure whether they will actually look ok side by side....

looks pretty sweet for a first go....its all practice and experience mate keep at it 🙂

thanks.

i got a good angle on it for that pic 😉
it's actually got a number of bits that weren't nearly smooth enough, and i didn't leave it long enough to cure so it's got some meaty finger prints in the paint too....lol

but like i said, it was just a practice run, the dash is more likely to be done grey anyway.

as Pyro said practice makes perfect,well for us backyarders good enough to make it look 100% better than it was ,ive painted about 6 or 7 cars and still get some iffy bits:duh

Trust me it is ALL in the preperation and never try to rush things.
This was painted in my shed and I had only done a quick respray on a beetle before and that was about 7 years ago.
Great to be able to say you did it yourself.

Cheers

all in the prep as kombi said🙂

rub that primer good!! dont leave any peel in it when you paint colour!, colour shows everything :|
