Yeah, it'll never be perfect. Keep spotting bits that need a bit more sanding. It'll be an every day driver, (I hope), not a show car, so I just want it presentable. Don't want to be embarrassed if anyone looks at it in detail Smiley

Looking good Andy, primer doesn't go as far in this cold weather. At least it's getting a good coating.

Well thank you Mr Chimp. Smiley
Always nice to see him, but better when I can shove an aerosol can in his hand -you paint that side, I'll do this one Smiley
The cellulose covers very well -much better than the average spray can. It was mixed by the local paintshop, who can pour it into a tin for you, or put it into cans. No idea how they do that, but a litre of paint will make 9 aerosols.
Bob & I used 4 cans to cover the interior, bulkhead & roof, down as far as the swage line under the rear window, (need to mask up the chassis to do the bottom section). I was going to do the whole thing in satin finish, but have decided to go gloss, so I'm using the satin paint to build up some depth, before top coating in gloss. It's a little bit orange peely but might sink a little as it dries, (celly usually does). Doesn't matter cos it's all gonna be flatted back anyway.
Did we ventilate the garage while painting? No
Did we wear masks? No
Are we stoopid? ...You decide.

Yeah, I think we both felt a bit like that by the time we emerged.
