after literally polishing through the paint in patches its being painted black...by me...lol

this is the bonnet flatted and mopped with G3. tbh im quite happy with the results

yes there are swirls, but i need to redo it anyway, my flushing of the badge isnt good enough imo

Celly? Christ that stuff is crap. Hated working with it on old cars. Never gives as good a finish a 2k.

More so on black, you'll get a really deep looking feel to the paint with 2pac.

It's just a cheap blow over for now, I'm not fussed if it's not perfect. Paint and thinners cost sub £50 and it works out I get about ten litres of paint for that
