There's three ways of doing things:
The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.

I'm in a kind of Zen mode with this thing...think positive and all that. It will be done. It will be gone. Repeat.

well it's not my car...and I use the word 'car' in the loosest possible context. All sprayed over now and fine, one more day and it should be ready for the final coat.

This thing just eats time. You think it's all ready for paint and you spot something else that's wrong.
Plus points...bonnet and both front wings all prepped. Doors all prepped. Roof is painted as is the boot!
Just need to finish the rear wings.
