also waiting on some ats classics to use along side the original wheels. will do a project thread when shes on the road in a few weeks.
if your ok with a spray gun i would do it yourself,
50quid for a booth is a bargain, id snap that up. sadly i dont have access to one anymore so i kitted my garage out with an industial extractor fan and polymask sheeting and a warm day!
i know its classed as a 3 stage pearl but its not like some 3 stage pearls that are bad for colour matching and hard to get an even finish.....
only thing is being a pale colour you need to make sure its clean and free from specs of dust between coats of pearl, as theres not a lot of play if you need to nib the pearl coat! a bloody fly landed in my roof on the second coat of clear and left a tiny brown mark, but even though im a painter im not that anal and will live with it! :D - im sure anyone on detailing world would be slitting there wrists
painting outside a booth its a very time consuming colour, it took me all day to do 4 coats of base, 7 coats of pearl and 2 coats of clear. good luck with it.
