So as u guys no one of the problems ive had with my more door is the colour match everytime ive had a colour made uts turned to dark. The last time was for pvs and the back door stuck out like a sore thumb :( so when i had some made up to replace it they put more yellow in as my paint is a mix of silver,green and yellow so did a test patch and was just to light but the wired part is when i add a coat to the paint that was too dark it makes the match 99.999% perfect its so close that ya cant even see the difference in paint so finally i can make the more door look how it shud and not the eye sore it is atm so im defo happy with this out come but my tapatalk still wont add pics to show it so as soon as i can i will put it up to show u guys the only down side i now ave to get two tins everytime i want to spray anything but i prefer do that than ave a crappy colour looking car :D next to do now on the external is start to sticker bomb the bonnet as soon as i ave ordered the vinyl so watch this space and goin to be good pics when they are added and all comments that u guys want to add at any time are forever welcomed by my thanks for reading and watch this space hahaha

Sounds good Andy. Hurry up and get them pictures up!

Are you sure sticker bombing is the way forward with this project? They get old pretty quick tbfh, but saying that are you going for the Vauxhall themed' bomb?

Black because black is badass :)
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

Are you going roller painting? I can tell you now its amazingly hard to get anywhere near a half decent finish on it. I know because i roller painted my roof and it makes me want to cry so going to vinyl it as soon as i can.

I dont know it was a foam roller anyway, and no i didnt sand between coats so maybe thats why i hate mine lol. How are you going to do the engine bay and door shuts etc?

Well it says u can brush it unthinned out and sand it down but its a little harder. So it will be either that way or a small headed gloss foam roller and a lot of time todo it in :lol:
