So guys , for those that know me will know that this is my 3rd spray job in the year of 2011 reason for this is ,i can never get the colour I want or the panel-beater just catches on crap or im to cheap :)

So after thinking about this for long i decided to stop being cheap and buy some proper decent products and get the car again resprayed.

So i bought me some SPIES HECKER PEARLBLAUFEIN paint was abit expensive but I only needed 2litres got the paint by lexus by someone but wont mentioned name here (coloured reasons)for 950 a pop but I only needed 2litres.

Uncle said I must get some decent 2k clear also and not that crap LUXONE.
So I went for GLAKER GREEN with some VOLLUX hardner and GLAKER Hardner .

The colour i chose is a mixture of purple/blue and base gold .

Right so the car took me 2days to prep luckily there was only one crap dent on the fender that we quickly sorted out .

we just used 1000 and 1200 water paper for prepping .

here are some pics below of the work in progress . car will be done tommorow and i stared on the car Saturday only car is virtually finished.

Just waiting on headlights to come back from MASTER WRAP.

I must say this is one unique colour and im very happy.

The last pic above where you cant see the grill should give you an idea.
