Painting my new front end

5/25/11
First time using my new best friend. This was SO MUCH faster than by hand. Took like 20 minutes!


No before, but here's the after.

Looks like you are getting on nicely...for some tips and ideas on how to blend the paint and show others what is involved, can I recommend looking for videos by a guy called JIMMO4LIFE on Youtube.

He has got some good videos on there with text subtitles to explain as he goes.

Thanks for the link! I've never done any blending, and I really just didn't want the front to be silver anymore. I know I'll have to blend some because it's definitely going to be noticeable.
