It took a while, cos i hadnt done anything like it before it was a little experiemental!!
All up it probably took me at least 10 weekends worth...
The sparying didnt take all that long, its the prep that takes the longest!
Matt black would look awesome, if your gonna do it yourself here's some tips i'd recommend:
1. Spray booth, make sure you do it in a double garage, that you can close up completely and have plenty of room to move around.
2. Sanding back, use 280 first round, then 400 to smooth it off. use 600 wet and dry after your first two coats of primer.
3. take your time spraying, watch out for over spray.
I'm far from qualified matey, haha! just mucking around at home...
All up i saved heaps of cash by doing it myself. total cost including compressor, paint, materials, fibreglass and everthing came in under $1200!
