Thanks Bob, appreciated. It ain’t perfect but it’s all my own work 
I went into paint it yesterday but I couldn’t find my 2K respirator and the weather was turning so that job will have to wait. I did manage to bung some new lights up though so at least when I do get round to it I can see where the paint’s going 
I went to the workshop this morning to sort a few things out and decided that today was the day. Not the best job I’ve ever done but it’s twenty five years since I last picked up a spray gun and I’ve never used two pack before and certainly not paint that’s been in a rusty tin for the last ten years 
Looks like you did a great job!
Well done and good on you for having a go.
Thanks chaps. I’m going to leave it to harden up for a couple of days before I get the wet and dry out 
MOT in about a month. I carry out a check each time I clean Alison. I don’t foresee any problems this time round.
She was fucking caked in mud.

Is it a Kadjar or a Captur? I’m any case, that’s a lovely colour!
Nice jam jar, that! 
Fuckwittery with spelling, so edited…
Please God tell me it’s a Kojak 
Mileage is about 286,500… Engine Bay cleaning will happen closer to the MOT… Also, I ran out of time! 
Now that’s a fucking cool name for a car!
It’s a captur
Pffft ! 
Yebbut, bald bloke stepping out of a Kojak comedy reasons. A strong look ? 
Picked up a set of 4 continental all terrains at zero cost, 50/50 off/on road with snow and mud clearance tread. Only lost less than 1mm of tread. All i have to do is return the alloys. Ordered up a set of OEM pattern steel wheels, deep dish as fitted to the old one tons and fwd controls and suited to the 235/85 tyres.
The front quarters haven’t come out too bad but the match is awful on the rears. The paint was bought years ago for a front end repair and I knew the colour match was crap but I needed the practice so it seemed a shame to waste it. I spent this afternoon flatting the nearside rear quarter ready for a second squirt.
Hopefully the new paint will be a better match and as I’m only concentrating on one corner I’m less likely to end up with a satsuma finish It’ll be good practice for when I come to paint this old girl
What colour is the top coat going to be?
I’m going to paint the Rangie dark green, almost black, but it’ll be green so no log book changes
