The body shop price seems fair for metallic and laquer
-
That turtle wax colour magic is really good I use it when I get time(not often)
That Mcguires stuff I think is overated for the money.

Most DIY compressors can chuck out at least 40 psi.
As long as your getting 2 bar at the gun with trigger pressed you should be fine.
You really need a gauge like pic I posted connected to the gun to get an accurate reading of what's coming out if your gun.
Think they bout 15-20 quid eBay

Definatly
-
To get a decent finish K9d you need the correct pressure coming out from the gun so you need one of these don't know if you already have one
This is a cheap one but should be competent for what you have in mind.
Set gun up at 2 bar (29 psi) on gauge with trigger pressed.

Cheers for the pointers.I will give that a go.
Way ahead of you on the rattle cans, already bought a compressor and spray gun, the gun looks a bit cheap but I plan to practice on the wheels, may get a gun just for lacquer.

If your using a gun for clear coats only mate make sure your needle tip size in the gun is no more than 1.4 mm.Any bigger and it will go on too heavy and run like piss all over the place
Make sure your fan setting is set wide also.
Use at least 1200 grit or higher wet and dry you only need the laquer to key to original surface so don't go mad

The grill looks very nice by the way

It does sound like a lot of money K9d for the paint job.If its 2k primer base coat metallic and laquer it should be about a 1500 for a proper job.
Still not cheap.

Which it looks like they have done with the 4c.
The more attainable cars in the future range are what I think Fiat/Alfa are more nervous about.

Agreed
Its obvious designs have been rejected.
I think and hope what's coming with the Giulia is
a return to form as when the stunning 156 first appeared and made all other cars in its class look shite.
Alfa can't afford another so so car

Alfa do know how to make good interiors.
They used to.
Not so much now.I think the interior in my GT is a let down to what went before
-
That interior is class
-
No point rushing it
-
What do you use on the leather?
-
More interior pics?
-
Maybe
-
Do you use the left over vinegar from your detailing
-
No
I've thought about it carefully and no German cars in my top 3.
