Me and my mate are finaly getting together and making out own business, at the age of 18 i have alot to live for so im defo giving the go ahead. so far we have a garage with space for 3 cars and a ramp, we dont hae a booth atm but are using poly stuff to outline everything and cancel overspray, probaly only manage to spray solid colours atm since waterbase colours and your metilacs have to sprayed at a certain tempature. but hopefuly we are going to get rocking with it and start making the big bucks. cant wait to get out of my shithole of a bodyshop! hate my boss so much... spray painting isnt a easy life when you have a bully of a boss... anyway everyone wish me luck! xxx

I wouldnt worry bout the car, as cat said, simo is genuine. Pretty sure the boy you bought it from had just spent £1200 putting it through an mot but unsure what it was for. He just bought an ek9.

Is whiteford the place next to pitcaple?? I sometimes go through there en route to work, bit of a random place no!?
