Good luck with your first attempt.
Spray inside cab and engine bay first even if it is going to be the same colour.

Keep it up,.......as long as you have flatting paper you will get it perfect in time!

Goose and I promised ourselves that is what will be done with the next paint job,......we will do itourselves!,
Then we can blame only ourselves if itdoes'nt turn out as we want it!

Good job!
