hehe cool!


VWFREAK - October 27th, 2004 at 10:34 AM

Ah, over spray it's a great thing. I still remember my first paint job.lol. I'm guessing you parents and mates cars have a nice grey speckled effect on them.

Can't wait to see the end product.

Have fun.


pyr0 - October 27th, 2004 at 10:39 AM

lol nah they had car covers ;) and theres a secret to getting over spray off.....it involves putting a secret solution on the windows and rubbers 1st ;)


vw_addict - October 27th, 2004 at 10:50 AM

pyr0 - October 27th, 2004 at 10:57 AM
