as you\'ll see from my first gen next week, don\'t ask me to do it when hungover with a bad back, in a single garage, on the spur of the moment.... *lol*  But there are some great blogs and pages online from people who have done just this for the first time, and the lessons they have learned.  Good luck!!

I\'ve only ever done matt colours but, you need a moisture free enviroment and warmer the better.

as said above preperation is the key.
