i used midnight black stuff. it dried completely in bout 2hrs then i put it back in the car! but it was an exceptionally hot/sunny day in wales with a nice cool breeze i.e. perfect paintin conditions! it stays completly soft to the touch aswell.
and no...green suks but it was the only colour available in the paint shop :shock: :lol: of course i do!

er...bout 4-5 large cans of primer, 4 large cans of gloss/satin black, 3 large cans clear laquere, and then say 5-7cans of the colour of ur choice. I used halfords paint designed for outside car body (ford modena signal green) and th ecans are only 330ml i think for like £6 each. the larger cans are £7-£8 each. u need loads and loads of prep though to get good finished on em. i used 400grit paper to key surfaces, 1200 wetndry for between layers then 1500wetndry on the 1st layer of laquere then just a fine spray of laqurer again that kinda self levels. the trick is timin between sprays. i would say for the whole interior ive sprayed i spent three days cleaning and sanding em and dustin them to get em ready and like one day paintin and 2 days drying to harden if it was to be done all in one go. but i done it inseveral stages over a period of days cos had to do other stuff aswell in life.
