Sucks to be us, then... Find out Tomorrow if the one that is in Nth Qld is in good enough condition to use: fingers crossed... And I have to go back to the bodyshop (again) tomorrow, so they can finally get my passenger front window in the Stag working again. Stupid glass!

LUCKY YOU DONT LIVE IN NEW ZEALAND......this country has the shittest legal system, you can go and beat and murder people, and get the the most shittest sentence.....it applys to everything, from intentionaly breaking someones car window, to murder, increase jail time, people will think twice about doing the crime.....my rant

Its too expensive to keep someone in jail to be worth doing it for something that is considered just non-violent hooliganism with no real threat to anyones safety. You have to do something fairly serious to get time - and even then you really gotta get caught a few times doing it. Theres a fine line between stupidity and true criminals - they dont send stupid people to jail, only criminals - and i hate to say it but these guys who did it are stupid, but the courts will not define them as criminals.

    • The second part yes, the first part about easy VE calculation is something I've seen a few people talk about online.
    • You 100% could do that, would save money on a gym membership lol. But yeah, getting a cordless orbital sander will feel priceless coming from doing it manually.  Good luck with it mate
    • I initially was going to do the whole car with a block then realised, it would be a bigger monster of the job 😂 I guess that's all part of the learning process. I appreciate all that advice, I think I got a good idea on how to tackle this whole job.
    • I admire your efforts with the scuff pad.  As a mere mortal, I use this for the baulk of my sanding work- https://sydneytools.com.au/product/milwaukee-m18bos125-0-18v-li-ion-cordless-125mm-5-random-orbital-sander-skin-only Yes you can easily create a low spot while sanding. There are 2 types of filler, 1 part of 2 part. The 2 part filler will get used for large corrections and the 1 part filler will get used for pin holes and areas that only need slight filling.  Depending on how zealous you are with the sander (very easy to do with a power tool) or if you are chasing rust etc, yes those low spots will need to get filled or you will end up with a very obvious defects in the paint.  Using the guide coat and large sanding block, high and low areas will be revealed (watch youtube videos for a good visual on this). Its up to you if you think its worth the effort to make the car completely flat before you spray it (you make it flat by filling the low areas).  At the end of the day, it comes down to time. The end result comes from the level of prep put in to the car. If you want a perfect result, you have to put in the time during the prep stage or else it will be impossible to achieve a perfect result during the spraying process.
