Just a suggestion, don't just putty the holes, weld them shut. Else it will show the edges after a while.

I agree with youm I don't like to just use body filler it doesn't last. Plus the holes are to big jo just put filler

kwl thanks for the advice, i will give you a shout before i do anything
You mentioned you are going for 2 tone, i noticed some guys stick like a vinyl layer over the standard spray and it actually looks exactly the same asif it would of been resprayed. Have you had a look into this? I can remember exactly what the process is called.
(It might be a kwl option in which you can later pull off the black and have the car all white)

Every one says that you can just pull it off but what's the glue doing to the paint.
Any ways when in done with the car you won't feel where the to colors start plus I've only spent a grand on doing this so its also cheaper that to wrap it

that's why you use a hairdryer to soften the glue then remove glue with paint stripper bwaaa i mean benzine
but painting 2tone way better its looking sweet adrian come to durbs you can paint my sx for me
