the flag on the mini is superb. some very good airbrush work there. it's very hard to get a flat surface to look like material and even more to make it look like it's flowing.

baz, your car is already silver so couldn't you have the car sanded down to remove the laquer that's already on it and have the new laquer sprayed on with the flake in. easy 5 min job

true about the money thing. i want a 2.5 conversion, power fc, equal length headers, decat downpipe and this new abw kit. but i've not got any spare cash and a baby on the way. perhaps i'll tell the family and friends that the baby needs the new abw kit on the scoob and that they should club together and buy it that.

i think that the colour that you'd like on yours baz would be good on the new abw car. it's fairly subtle and would suit the car. i think to be even more cool mask off for the abw graphics then spray the metal flake on. when you then remove the masking the logo is in the non "sparkly" paint. under show lights or sun at outdoor events it'd draw the crouds over. i think that this or the other way round would be

was all a bit tongue in cheek. i wouldn't mind learning though. i know the basics and have sprayed some stuff on my car before, scoops, side skirts and splitter turned out well but this was with cans rather than spray gun.

any ideas if any colleges do any courses? i'm too old to become an apprentice and couldn't afford the wage drop but working in the city really does get boring.

unless anyone out there is willing to take me on at the weekend to teach me?

I would love to show you. It's all about prep work every one can learn to spray but that is the easy part. preperation is the key

Not a problem just pm me.

i also do digital printing i thought how this would confuse people if they see this was wrapped onto a scooby.

I think you should do a Japanese police car theme
Impreza

Has to be done
