You can buy it in a spray can man, if there only small parts to spray it'll be fine.

I've gotta spray the whole hatch, half the bonnet and the bottom strip of the door. And I need 2pac anyway which they don't sell in cans...

Dont stress. Sometimes you gotta make do. Get a compressor if you can BUT, If it's primer filler it doesn't need to be 2k, acrylic in a can is cool. You can paint top coat 2k over the top.

Is the shop just painting the top coat?

[Mrk_Mickey]

Ah ok. They're painting basecoat/pearl(top)coat/clear.

It's not all bad... It's easier to go back to a Panelshop and get them to fix things than a mate...
Good luck with it all, be patient because at the end of the day when it's all done you will totally forget there were any dramas to begin with

Yeah I agree. Huge lack of motivation today though...

Haven't gone badly so far though!
-bumpers wetsanded
-hatch finished up
-bonnet nearly feeling flat....nearly...
-sprayed a guide coat on one door ready to wetsand

There isn't much left either..
-quick wetsand of all the door frames
-hi-fill half bonnet, half door, hatch, top of rear bumper
-wetsand half bonnet, two doors, hatch, top of rear bumper

You've done heaps!
Wont take you long to finish, you're just at the "I hate you car" stage... It passes.
Keep it up! It'll be finished before you know it!

Hahah that's so true. Lack of motivation and ''f*** you car, you POS'' is exactly where I am. I decided today that I'm going to have one door and the inside door/boot frames all wetsanded today, and that's it. Hopefully tomorrow morning I can go buy some paint and steal a compressor for an hour and get the rest of the shizz i need painted up so i can FINISH ...

Go inside and have a beer... It'll be there tomorrow...Rome wasn't built in a day and you have more chance of skinning a knuckle when you're mad at the car!

Oh I don't mean mad enough to actually be physically angry whilst working hahaha. It's a labour of love after all

Only got one door frame sanded tonight, the stupid door that I had to sand down was sprayed with hi-fill that had HARDENER in it, thanks anthony you idiot. I'm off tomorrow though so I think the plan of action is to go to VG's in the morning and grab some paint, get a compressor and spray some shizz..

Good work man! I know what your going through as I went through it all when spraying my Mk3. I spent a 2 months of weekends prepping the car when i had time and with help from Gadget (Prep guy at panel shop) Just make sure you get some good clear and life is good...
