So here i am on the gun for my fisrt real paint job.

Ok so i got the primer on then me and Mo sanded  car got base on and had two small sages not runs and one waterfallBut not bad for a newbie i dont think. So blocked them back and hit
it with clear . Know this is were i maid a school boy error . and a big one at that. i pick up my gun that i thought was a 1.4 tip but it was my 1.8 tip gun which i bought in error .I then dusted my first layer on.
And left to flash of for 15mins had a look and it looked good so know i did a full pass  and it went on so thick it was a mess . so Mo and me rubbed the hole car down again he s a good un you know.
and i did it all again .much better this time thankfully here some photos of paint.Top photo new paint bottom photo is my mess up cf_emoticons__BangHead:

So then i tryed my wings on that i have two sets of.That are reproduction Know i have stone chipped the inside and painted them and when i fitted both set s i thought i don`t like the look of these at all.
So i looked on ebay. And ended up ordering some genuine wings from VW heritage should get them tomorrow.hope they fit well .
So need to learn haw to buff now and if i balls that up i might be back on the gun soon
