Choices are:

1. White with black bumpers and stockies.
2. Shiny red with black bumpers and stockies.
3. Blue (refer to next pic for colour) with nice big rims.

I've already bought white paint :( but i can change my mind ones i'm done sanding :D I'll see how i go.

This colour is very tempting:

I'm just worried it will not turn out that great, since it's my first real respray.

Get a finishing sander heaps easier and faster, use 80 grit for top coats off then 220 to get smooth surface for undercoat. Then undercoat hit the undercoat with a light 220grit lightly then first coat, hit first coat with 1000grit 2nd with 1600grit 3rd coat 2k+grit. With the finishing sander its much easier and leaves surfaces perfect.

Thanks for the info. Do you mean a circular one? because mine is rectangular, i'm using 80 on it already.

Yep the rectangle ones. Heaps easier and faster. Really gets the shine going once you start coats.

It's been raining here for like 2 weeks straight. So not much more done as yet. The bonnet is almost done. I was going to try spraying that first just to try it out but it started raining!!!
