Help with spraying up a winter hack
Discussion
Hi Folks,
I recently purchased a winter hack (E46 BMW 320d) for £500 as my 350z is being slowly turned into a track car and it won't survive another winter.
The BMW is a glorious 191k mile heap with crash damage on the drivers side. As it's a winter hack, I'm not looking to panel beat the dents out the side but to just spray it so it doesn't rust (and also doesn't look like a complete nail). I am cautious over doing a single rattle can job since I heard they're not great for longevity.
I've been looking at trying to do it myself with a 2 pack option and I'd be able to do most of the prep (sand, primer, base coat), but I'm dreadful with applying the clear coat!
So I'm asking if anyone knows of either a body shop who want a car to test a new recruit on, someone who's happy to do it themselves (happy to offer money obviously) or anything in between within the Norfolk area?
Here's how the car is currently looking.
Any help would be appreciated.
