Let it dry, I did slip up once, caught the light wire on the paint and smudged a lot of paint, so had to redo the one side!

what colour did you opt for,
Looks good mate, bet you have plenty of dry spray dust everywhere now

Yep its metallic silver, so it has a hint of sparkle to it. As for the dry spray dust there was a lot of it about, but I had all the seats covered so it wasnt too bad cleaning up.

[/IMG]More will follow, have a list of things done and a list to do and they are about the same size, just wish I had a windfall of money so i could do it all at once.
Next job is to buy paint and get it sprayed up, then I might have a go at refurbing the wheels, never done it before tho.
Ive been hitting the leather with Meguiars leather cleaner and using meguiars upholstery cleaner for the alcantara, and it looks and smells a lot better than it did when I first had the car.
