   hi guys, anyone know how i can make my door cards look like Gaz's doing all the work myself, i was thinking:
   
   1, take them out
   2, smooth them with wet and dry paper
   3, prime and paint them.
   
   
   would this work?

   the amount of primer i have used on 1 card is ridiculous.
   
   sort of wish i never bothered now, but a bit late to go back i suppose
   
   Should look OK once finished though, i hope
