Thanks for the tips - tomorrow I plan to mask it off properly - I actually have a scratch I've sanded down on one of the back wings, so am planning to allow quite a lot of over-spray to blend in, especially when I start attempting to do the colour coats myself!

One thing I forgot to mention, after a tip on the internet, I put the can of primer in a bucket of hot water while I was eating my curry to warm it up. I have Tesco food bags with zip-lok tops which were big enough to seal the can of paint so it didn't get wet - not that it really matters, I suppose.

Another thing I forogt to mention, earlier in the thread, someone commented on the brackets being a b*stard to get off - I had to grind through a couple of the screws with a cutting disk, and actually ground straight through one of the light guards since I knew I was only throwing them out anyway.

Since necroposts are all the rage on here these days... Endeleus, do you still have the photos from your post above? and did you ever take any more of the finished article?

Indeed I do still have the pics... attached below.

I never did take any pics of the final result - I might get a chance to take some at the weekend when I'm back home.

The colour match was fine, cost me a couple of days and a few quid from Halfords.

I have a fairly large dent on the drivers side rear quarter, on mine, and put a coupe of plasters on a few years back hoping it would mend! suppose the amount of plaster you would need would make yours look a bit bashed up (LOL)
