If i can get some paint in by the weekend then i can start yours next week!

EDIT: Got a litre of 449 coming in at 10am tomorrow mofo!
EDIT2: Rub back again and more primer, going for an eventual gloss finish in parts on mine, with textured detail. On second thoughts when I whip mine out to give to Ash, i might use paint stripper rather than beadblasting, try and keep the surface finish smooth to save work.

No, i don't have quite the patience for doing this all the time lol. I work for a company doing engineering design, and prototyping. So i have access to workshop facilities and spray equipment.

in my hallway with all the windows open and loads of newspaper everywhere, the pic shows the end result after i had cleared up most of the newspaper that was covering the floor and walls

The carpet looks a different colour in places because some of it is in the shade Wink

Good idea spraying indoors, less chance of random crap blowing onto the wet lacquer! Just don't inhale Shocked Rolling Eyes
