The car only owes me £240 with full mot and 4 months tax, so a few quid on filler and body prep and a furhter ££ to give it some fresh paint just to smarten it up and ill be happy.
Also using it as a bit of a practice as ive never painted very large panels yet, going to have to borrow a larger compressor aswell to do it.
Plan is, attack major dents with filler, sand down to 400, shoot the filler with high build and wet flat to 800, then scotch the full car, mask up, and spray.
Wet flat any major runs, and possibly give it a mop, depends what the finish comes up like.
