no point in washing her....she'll look dirty anyway. :'( It's really sad to see her like that after all the care I'm giving to her and I don't know when she'll be fixed.

ASAP is not fast enough.....but with car paintig prices, ....she'll have to wait I'm afraid. It's more economical to buy compressor, paint gun and do it myself, sadly

you can.. but first you need to get used to the gun.. and make some trials on test panels.. there are lots of info about spray painting on the net and youtube.. a relatively bigger compressor will make your life easy.. normally painters use at least 200 litre or more , also you can hire for a paint job but if you will buy dont go less than 100 litre..because once you start you cant stop before you spray the final laquer layer.. :-\ and must add good quality hvlp guns are extremely expensive.. smaller particle size guns give professional look on the job.. if you will choose to paint yourself I'm sure members will give good info here :y
ps: type of thinners, hardeners and laquers are various but you can take some help from paint shops imo..

Be careful neighbour, mine had some rust as well I decided repainting but the paint on the car was not compatible with the code I found on data sheet. One of previous owners already repainted but not the correct colour was applied. >:( Good luck! :y
