Just a few questions

planning a full respray on my car, where is the best place to buy the paint from, and what is the easiest type of paint to spray with to get a an ok finish (i'm spraying it black)

and second question, where can i buy material from to retrim my door cards white.

Thanks, Luke

Any body shop supplier will sell you the paint
unless you know what your doing i wouldn't
advise you to respray your car and deffo not black!!!!
its the most critical of colours to show up any
defects, marks, bad prep etc
your looking at the thick end of £100 for materials
so it just might be a awaste of money
not tryin to put you off
synthetic is prob the cheapest
2k the dearest
both have for and against
synth slower to dry but wont kill you
2k faster to dry but will kill you
unless you have all the kit and a booth
