Barber - Great idea for a thread.
So I've added a link to this thread on the last post of the Tribute "sticky" thread.
I've also added a few links below.
Hope it helps,
Paul.

Whilst I know (and certainly don't dispute) that a professional would produce a professional paint job, I still plan to follow the DIY route "next door".
So I really liked this thread about hand painting a car on the
Rods 'n' Sods forum.

Finally, I always liked this 'Before' & 'After' photo, also taken from
Rods 'n' Sods.
It is not that the finished painted car is perfect, far from it.
No, it is more about the complete transformation of the previous "patch work" quilt under construction.
This would certainly get you on the road (enjoying your car) until you could afford to get a "proper" paint job.
Total cost, including the brushes =
£35!
