as i had a spare day today, i decided that i would get on with the car and see about spraying the interior.
this morning it started like this:
i then masked off everythin inside with the great aid of a car cover lol
when i was happy with the masking, i went to see my mate about some paint. 2k in a can is wickid shit! lol
i'll get some more photos up later without the masking.
next stage it to go and pick up the roll cage!

2k in can? Me and myke used rattle cans to do his, with mixed results, dependant on how gunky the nozzle got.
It looks perfect from a distance, i managed some paint runs  but other than that is was a pretty good job.
What is this stuff u used and how much does it cost?

I really want to do my interior. Only thing I dont get is what line do you spray up to, cos surely its not easy to blend with the cans.

im getting a 6point bolt in cage which will be matt black. its from S1MON's old corsa. hopefully i will have the cage in by PVS.
its 2k paint (the nasty shite thats being banned) but i have a mate in the paint trade so he made me some up as its alot better than crappy celulose (sp)
the harnesses are temperaly (sp) mounted there untill i can afford some new 4point harnesses.
i sprayed all the bear metal that could be seen in the rear of the car. there is a definate line where it meets the front section but this isnt a problem as i will remove the sound deadening and respray the front at some point.
heres the finished result (also washed it for the first time in 2weeks) and fitted one of my motorsport badges.

motorsport badges are from courtenay sport. thinkin about moddin the other badges for the doors and put led's in them and put them in place of my side repeaters so they are now the side repeaters. i just unclipped the wires and wrapped them in masking tape as you can see in the 1st set of photos. it now has the spare alloy fitted aswell
