Surely a dinning table with newspaper covering it with masking tape to keep it in place is all you need lol :)
Yep sounds easy but Mrs DB9 is getting a bit fed up with me using the kitchen table and our house layout means on the ground floor we only have a kitchen, Loo and very small bedroom, Lounge and Bedroom on first floor and two bedrooms and bathroom on top floor. I'd love to use one of the spare bedrooms but we have the Grankids over and I'd be dog meat if i asked the good lady if i can convert one of those bedrooms!! :D :D :D

You could if you feel brave enough buy a VW Golf kit and convert it into a Caddy?

Must confess because of the ebay business side of things we bought our house because of the out houses to store stock, a massive attic which we have since floored, plus the conservatory :) all for 150'000..

when we were looking Cullompton tiverton and Chudleigh had some pretty good sized houses that weren't all that over priced

Been looking at places in and around Exeter, It's a compremise, My good lady doesn't want to go back to N Devon like i do because of distance from Kids and Grandkids so that is our area, Although i like the Tiverton area

So having 5 minutes today I thought I would give the Chevy bonnet a quick blow over this is a mix of candy cherry red and right afterwards to very light dust coat of the gold glitter spray had to use the dog ball throwing thing for the glitter to make it further away so as to not lay it on too heavy which worked quite well when this is cured properly it will get a colour sand then lacquered over the top as you can see a little orange peel in the second pic isn't major but still needs to be a high gloss finish.
Just gotta figure a way of colouring the glass green may have to use a Quality Street wrapper !
