    Got 3 panels left to finish on the runner, they are so close, just tiny lil holes!!! :D

    Going to get a compressor, think it's a wolf 2.5hp with 50 litre tank with gun and a couple attachments.

    What I want to know is where to buy the paint, how much I am going to need, primer pots, paint and laquer.

    Also any paint schemes you would like to see fire away, set on white atm with maybe a couple lil accents on it.

    Ooooh eski purple ay, don't sound bad. Thought of baby blue or like a light gren but not too sure.

    lol where's that paint company....online?? I'll remember what you've said when it comes to mixing, do you think a litre of paint will do allllllll the panels on a runner then?

    Cheers eski I think I got you added anyway??

    Don't do what??

    It's not going to be common paintjob like the top one. I was gonna go for either all white and something or off centre candy blue one side and candy green the other. All ideas at the moment though.
