OK so I went for Malacite green and there were problems with the paint, so I opted for a Diamond Black, black is black as my sprayer says, here se is, first in primer, then the green, then finished today in Black. Please as, just got a week to rebuild and MOT her, and thenhopefully by sept she'll be my daily driver, and my God have mercy on anyone who looks at her wrong!!!!

I know mate the green would have lokked stunning, but unfortunately I had to switch at the last minute, never mind tho, my cars one colour, looking sweet and I love it.

As for the primer colour my sprayer did threaten just to put laq over the top of that! It looked very sick in that colour I can tell you, nasty bannana yellow.

Cheers guys, hopefully be at a couple of meets soonish.

Mark.

Im guessing that would be bad, little bits would get on the paint then be spayed over?

Yes it was sprayed outside, the beauty of that cellulose paint is that anything can be buffed and cut back, so any little imperfections will dissapear. Not exactly brilliant I know but so long as the end product is right its fine by me.
