get a bodyshop to do it lol. honestly its a lot of work, and unless you have a compressor prob wont turn out the way you've planned. Make sure you spray in warm conditions, and prep the surface well and be prepared to spend a lot of time on it

give it a go... aint as easy as ud think tho...

i thought i'd spray my mouldings myself, and could have kicked myself when i went to a bodyshop (after i'd fecked it up) and said that he only wanted 130 quid to do it, i spent 100 quid on materials and hours of wasted time! but if you feel confident give it a go, but i would get some quotes first.

you must be careful with colour match as well, especially if its a mark 1 and with the panels being main ones
