You get the idea all ready for primer, few bits that have been bugging me from the oem paint like the door top and finally my rear bumper strips and all around so no more flaking and dodgy oem patchey paint...

Can't wait... All done at home with 800 wet flat ready for top coat some of it....

Yeah most new lads only do prep etc, takes time to gain trust and that. Even more on a car at our place that cost 250,000 lol...
