Urm they don\'t seem to be in the car industry? I\'ve just spent the last few minutes looking at there Site and there is nothing to sugest they know what they are talking about? They are not backed (i.e Distribute a big name brand) they don\'t sell Proper Guns (who are Badger and Kestrel?)

I think you have been Missinformed, i sugest you Buy 1/4lt of Cellulose and the same of 2k and try them on test Panels, I now would not use ither as i\'m a bit spoilt (I use water base) but that would not be cost effective and even though it is realy good for doing wings and bits like that i could imagen it could go wrong in a big way (so forget water).

Biggest thing, Don\'t belive the Hype about 2K, It won\'t kill you LOL infact the Basecote is a bit like Cellulose. Worsed that could happen is you forget to put hardner in it ;) (btw with 2K getting the correct hardner is the key)

Seriously try contacting these people //www.bodyshopwarehouse.co.uk i have used them before and there Very good.

Cheers for the replies dude!  I did say to everyone I contacted that I wanted the cellulose stuff, not 2k, and didn\'t get a reply...

I\'ll certainly get a quantity of 2k and cellulose and have a go - the underside of the bonnet is going to be the likely victim... *grin*  I\'ve already got a top respirator, but the possibility of getting a different compressor is not really possible - knowing me, and my lack of patience, I might do one panel, and then decide I can\'t be arsed, and get someone else to do it!! *lol*

Grizzly - thanks for your replies dude!  it really helps to get some advice from someone that knows what they are talking about!

I\'m sure lots of people will tell you this but its all in the Prep, Take your time and  don\'t be shy about repriming etc if you are not 100% happy with it.

You won\'t have done it Properly if you still have Fingure prints at the end ;)
