I can certainly back up the fact that the bodywork is a right royal pain and takes AGES and doesn't seem to progress that quickly. I've taken ages to fill, then ages to primer, then ages to spray, now it's taking ages to flat and polish and yet with all the time taken i'm still finding flaws!
Now i understand why a "proper" spray job costs ~£1500!
That said, it will be very satisfying once it's done no matter how it turns out just knowing that i did it! and i can always carry on correcting mistakes over the coming few months
