you using normal color paint or primer? primer is normally a bit thicker. get some high build primer if you want really thick.

I think its matt black primer, not too sure. The only high build i can find is grey.
that was me earlier.
Whoops

hey we do it all the time

what you going to do with the wheels i think a good contrasting colour from the matt black would be nice my man

For Matt Black I use UPOL paint, its good s**t, you can buy it on ebay for like 3.50 a can....

Yeh, ordering the extremely magnificent paint of sprayness tonight, in doormatt black.
i just cant sound like i know what im taliking about....

GO IAN GO IAN
LACR.....................xxx
hurry up and get dat car down done didit

hey man, hows it going? I've been waiting for the next installment!! You been slacking?

oh, and i take it back about the loon being high mileage, i saw a VW on ebay with 260K on the clock.... looks like yours is still a baby

Next installment is coming! Sheet steel has been bought and cut to size. The welding starts tomorrow or monday-pics will be taken. Iv just got a single light grill for free today and sprayed it up right quick(runs everywhere! Lol). Suspention was ordered on friday and should be in some time the coming week. Iv found someone to face off my wheels for a crate of beer. All is coming together, but i am now skint for the month.
Pics to follow.
