Post by: toz on June 06, 2007, 06:13:13 PM: ive just updated and put a few more pics of him on drop shots,yes robbie unfortunately i do work in the motor trade :cry: ive had a hand from a fellow college to get him to this stage otherwise i would be probably dead by the time he was finished,sorry about the abused paint on top of the primer they thought it was funny to torcher him.

i wouldnt say i was a pro mick just been doing it for a long time m8,i would love to help you on your car if you lived closer,it really doesnt matter how long a re-spray takes just depends on what you want out of it.
