Personal Assistant/ Marketing Assistant to Dealer Principal ....... comes with car n petrol too ... which is nice but the job also looks A1 .... i always wanted to do marketing. :)

How very courageous of you blokes. I knew youd come and sook in this section, and hide behind your keyboards.

To try and set things straight. You guys may think that I screwed Ken over, but listen to this first before you pass judgement.

I had an offer from him, which I wasnt too happy about, since it was a few grand lower than my minimum. But stupidly I told him that yes that would be enough. I also asked for a deposit which he declined.

About 3 hours later, I had an offer of a couple grand higher (my minimum) to which I said I will have to talk to Ken first about. I told Ken, and he couldnt match the offer so I then took the higher offer.

Now call me a wanker or whatever you like, but I think if you guys were put in the same situation then youd probably do the same thing.

    • 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.
