So I got my friend to paint correct my Range Rover :

First off he washed it, using 2 buckets for some reason

Then he used some mud of some sort to remove any debris (I missed this bit as I was ordering his dinner).

Then he took some sand paper to it, while commenting that whoever had done a repair on the rear quarter should be hung by their wang - personally I thought I'd done a good job!

He then used something to compound the wet flatting - for ease I'll refer to it as a compound (it was a 3m product)

He then used some more 3m stuff to polish the car

While I got to work on the interior - no pics as I was shattered from my excertion!!

He then done some more stuff

and then after all that polishing, he goes and washes it again

He then used what he called a sealer and I took some more pictures.

I then drove it the 10 miles home and it got covered in shyte because it looked like this outside

All in all though I was more than pleased with the result and the interior is cleaner than it has ever been lol.

Afraid I didn't get any pics, but we used the three stage process of pizza, chips and a garlic bread circle
