I wood like too thank lee dent for the kit and also a big thank you too kjz32(Keith) for dropping it off to me with the exhaust it was very nice meeting you and your boy today 100% club spirit

It's raining I need a shower I'll def get them up si

I'm up lot too do to day get the kit back on the car before it rains

Ok here it is si haven't bolted the bumper yet 1mm out

Is it supposed to be Matt black?

It's graphite grey with pearl met kh2 when it's cut back and the lacquer on then it stands out

;)

Right that's it for a wk haven't put the side skirts on yet then cut it back to lacquer it

Wow! That was quick! Get polishing! :)

Did I read that correctly....? You haven't lacquered it yet? :confused: You can't cut-back metallic base coat....

Why si I thought you could

Why si I thought you could

 

Hell no! NEVER ever do that. You need to lacquer straight on to metallic base coat. You'll totally screw up the 'lay' of the metallic particles, you'll get dark spots and all sorts. Not something I would do. It's the lacquer you cut back. I'd degrease that and then lacquer straight on top, however, I would have allowed the paint to partically dry and then hit it with 2-3 layers of lacquer rather than left it. Good job I told you!

Ho pants ok not going too leave it a wk I'll go get the lacquer out of the shed

Lots of fine layers remember. Doesn't matter if it doesn't give an ultimate gloss straight out of the gun, as long as coverage is even with no runs or dry spots, you can cut back with wet and dry after before final polishing.

This is going too be the test have too take it all off again and get her masked up

1st coat of lacquer on

3rd coat going too do 2 more and that's it

Is this rattle cans or a compressor?

That's it 5 layers done
