The first test panel to try my new Makita out on...
Picked it up from a local bodyshop, they just gave it to me as they were chucking it out. Probably cause of the dent on the front part of the door...
Still, the back two thirds of the door and the lower part are all okay...
And the PTG reads a healthy 130-160um of paint across the panel too! Plenty of room for inital practices!
Its the door of a Peugeot 307, so fairly soft paint for initial trials. Going to try removing the swirls, then I'll add some more sever marks with steel wool and try removing them, then I'll throw some tones at it and key scratch it to try the fill-wetsand-blend repair techniques. 
So... let battle commence, I've been doing a lot of reading on how to use the machine, so its time to get some hands on experience. This will be the first of quite a few test panels! :waxing: :waxing:

It went well, but wouldn't necessarily recomend it to others...
