We’ve done the prep, so let’s try do do some painting! 

Nice to see you back! Would love to see the MK5 finished and the imp engined Bond of course

Would it be easier to keep the air line away from the surface by hanging it over your shoulder, at least for when painting the roof? I can't remember where I learned it from, but I think the advice was to do intricate bits first, perhaps like the gutters, wheel arches, certain creases in bodywork, etc first, then spray the larger flatter panels or areas of panels. I think the idea is that you're not starting with the right amount of paint on the big panels/flat areas then adding to them with over-spray from those detailed bits causing runs. Maybe it was just the lighting and the camera being picky (some other channels have had paintwork done by career painters that looked great in person (although I couldn't confirm or deny that personally) but on camera looked very mismatched, etc in their videos) but here part of the bonnet looked wetter than the rest next to the more vertical portions of it, and I'm wondering if that could be why. I think they also talked about the importance of the nozzle staying a consistent distance from the surface, so maybe they would spray that crease with the spray pattern going lengthwise to the vehicle or something, so you would probably be standing in front of the car and painting from one side to the other, with a lot of wrist movement to keep the nozzle perpendicular to the surface? (hopefully I've used the right words to describe the movements I'm trying to visualise in my head). :) I'm too nervous to try this myself, so have no idea how any of this works in practice. Spraying on paint seems like a very complicated dance where you have to do all the footwork. I also don't know why I'm comparing it to that, because I haven't a clue about that either. :) HubNut might have a video about painting a car on his channel from when he had his GSA at Whiteland Restorations (?) for some paintwork. It might be best trying to find that video as I'm really not sure I'm recalling everything from memory accurately.

Very good. What do you do inside the boot/engine bay etc?
