Nice paintjob...

Take a look at this poor 126. Bodge job or what? Even the exhaust and tyres have paint on them! Shocking.

Hopeless struggle to sell a car. There is a saying in Turkish for this kind of trade. Not the exact translation but it's like "There will be a blind customer when wormy beans are for sale".

I'm always a bit wary of Ebay listings spelled incorrectly. Too many wrong and I tend to avoid incase it's fake.
Oh and while I'm at it I hate when people use the word brought instead of bought. "I brought it last year". Where did you bring it?

Bugger the spelling or overspray, still seems to shine better than my efforts to spray mine in the garden  :$

thin out the topcoat!! Couple of coats of 50:50, rub down to get rid of any under/overspray, then get down to 10:1 and put 3 or 4 coats on. Takes a bit longer, but it reduces the risk of flat spots and overspray. After this I went round it with a bit of cutting compound and it came up a dream!
