Default Finally painted

It has taken almost 5 years but it is finally painted.

After receiving quotes of 10 to 15k for the body prep and paint job, I opted to have a go myself in my garage (hence the plastic every where).
Although it is no show room finish, it came up better than I thought and cost under 2k which includes the purchase of AFS sanders, DeVilbiss GTI Pro gun and materials.
I'm also told by my wife it will cost new carpet thoughout the house from the dust created and I'm lucky it didn't cost our marriage.

Next step is carpet, Any suppliers in Melbourne that can be suggested.
