bearing in mind i've never done any majour bodywork/painting in my life i reckon thats a pretty darn good result!
 
a little tip, when you put your primer on, remove the masking, and with wet and dry, blend in the edge of the primer into the paint, then spray over, will come out more matching
 
holy shit! do you park in a salt bath!!! never seen rsuty arches or sills on an almera like that.

does look a good job, the sill is a little lumpy but i doubt anyone will see it unless they really look for it.

good job mate!
 
I would poo myself if my sill was like that.

But, it's an Import - no rust :D

(yes it has been fully checked and sealed to stop it)
 
haha fuck knows what the previous owner did to make it so bad, but its all fixed now :)

yeah, the sill is a bit bumpy but thats mainly due to the plate thats there and having to filler over it.

cheers for the tip geeteeaye, i may well use it when i come to do the passenger side arch (no where near as bad as that one was) already done the sill on the otherside too.

i was saying to my mate, the picture of the sill reminds me a bit of the titanic :d
