started to paint my car

[Guest]

I got bored today and decided to paint my car.

I have painted all the drivers side going to do the passengser side 2mrw and then the top and front/back.

Im going to have to give the drivers side another lick as the first coat is just an undercoat.

Will post pics up here as work gets completed.

You lot are maestro enthuaists kudos to you. I am not :laugh:

I am a jap enthuaist and drive a supercharged march, which i would never dream of painting!!!

I could not really give a flying about the car its a nice car to drive and does what it needs to so i am happy.

Iam enjoying painting the car its relaxing although its so cold and the paint is taking twice the time to dry.

[Guest]

I know this could be hard for you, and i'm not saying its a bad car, in fact i know theyre pretty good, but you are obviously trying to hide the fact, by calling it a march, that you drive a supercharged micra.....

[Guest]

mines an import and it is called a march but yes its a micra.

[Guest]

Pitty so few people throw the same amount of money at Maestros and Montegtos. Instead our cars get bought by people who hand-paint them with roller, adding to the general perception of them being nothing but worthless heaps not worth taking seriously
