going to be a Toyota Blue metallic (I saw a Landcruiser being painted with this and very much liked it)

Yes hopefully ready to go to the SCH but may be cutting a bit fine.

What paint are you using?

What kit are you using to spray and where are you doing it?

In my case I've only ever used cellulose in a lock up, which has initially looked very good but blemishes appear after about a year.

Very interested to hear about how other people do it.............
