Hi Bentley
I use a paint spray gun with my Air Compressor (50 Litre Tank) The tools are not expensive but the skill is all in the prep work.

I cant rememeber the place I got my paint from as I have it in my IE favorites at home so I will let you know once I get home if you want.

Thanks guys I hope to get her back to A1 but its nothing 95% of you all could not do with a bit of time and some cash.

3 bolts and 1 (?) screw on each side. Remember to unplug the indicator and fogs before removing it. Alternately you could drive it into a tree and the bumper should come off by itself

Re: Doc Orange Peel Barchetta project

Thanks Robot I was thinking that I could have a whole new front. Just need some idiot to destroy the front of the car like they did with the back.

Re: Doc Orange Peel Barchetta project

i doubt NASA can help with a flux capacitor... all those stories about linking NASA developments to Area51 are just not true
Now, they probably CAN help with a huge solar-sail, allthough it would be impractical for every day use...

So, how to go for that sparks effect just before the flux-capacitor kicks in?

Well... Valve cap LED lights CAN add to the effect:
(they are just so )

Re: Doc Orange Peel Barchetta project

Own up, you bought them for the B and the spotty kid next door said they looked crap and uncool. Then you stuck them on the kids bikes.
