70 quid i think but i bought 1L tins of primer ect, that got me, a few tins of etch primer, paint, 2 pac lacquer, thinners and someother cleaning shiz needed, my colour coat is a bit fancy I've got a basecoat and a blingy over coat. im running it all through the gun off the compressor not doing it aerosol.

the lacquer im not doing at all, its basically cyanide and its lethal if muffed about with so my dads friend said he'll do it if i stick his old BSA on fleabay, plus if its not done properly it will ruin everything and you'll have to start again

after repair and filling i sanded and formed everything with 280 grit paper on a palm sander and finished it with 1200 bye hand, primed the sanded lightly again with 1200 3 time (so 3 coats and a light sand between coats). after last coat give it another light sand then get hold of that black stuff (cant remember the name) and it will show through the imperfections, if you dont get it right even the most tiniest of imperfections will show through. its got to be 100% at the primer stage

What colour you spraying it?
I have some lacquer and etch primer somewhere. Some colour too.

Not bad price then, going to aerosol mine, my Dad did my brothers ped not that long ago and that turned out alright so i think i can trust him with it

Right better make a start i think
