To be honest next time I do it I'm gonna try and get some decent paint, the paint I used before I had laying down the workshop for years and I'm not sure what it was lol. It wasn't cellulose but it wasn't paint, it seemed like something in the middle. Looked great when I first done it but after the firs off road outing, after a wash it became apparent that the mud had kids gave the paint finish the crocodile skin look, wich is great if your after that sort of finish but I wasn't lol.

After all the time and money I've spent on it I do wanna tidy it up a bit this summer to be honest. Deff think the 2k paint is the way to go if you want a decent hard wearing paint but I'm no bodywork specialist.
