so some more fail today not as bad as yesterday tho. today i had lots of trouble with the guns it all started off well but eventually seemed like they were clogging wich didnt seem to be the issue as i pulled them apart cleaned them and thinned the paint even further and it made no difference. anyway i finally got the door jams done they should look ok after a wet rub and a polish. im about to head back out and strip the guns down and leave all the parts soaking in thinners over night. Tomorrow i will wet sand and polish all the painted bits and put the doors and boot back on the car heres hoping for no more set backs as its starting to get abit old now :P

some pics
