doing it myself a friend of mine is a car sprayer and over the last few months has been teaching me how to do it properly so far have done a couple of test pieces using old bonnets etc with very good results so my next test will be the scorp i will be doing a photo diary of the work and will do a work in progress thread on here hopefully it wont go tits up ;D

im looking forward to giving it a go to be honest im only doing it as my mate will be there to advise but i will be doing the spraying the job is also made easier as i have the primera to use so no rush to get it done, the scorp will also be fully stripped prior to paint to make it easier
