apparently not on metallic paintwork? :confused:
Oh right, was just thinking if the laquer will take right onto shiny paint.....?
Wheres Benn when you need him lol
Sorry here, well you both have me on msn for questions...
Dont flat off base! Anless you'll be re painting more base on..
You've put the base on nice and nicely wet, with lacquar on it should look very. Base is ok for about 8hours before it will lose its grab.
After that you'll need to flat it off then rebase before lacquaring.
Shouldnt really leave base unlacquared tho..
Love the round arches... very sexy.
What did i say?? I told you it would be much better with a larger compressor and to just give it a try, you should have a little more confidence in your abilities (they are better than you think) besides is you funk it up you can always knock it back and try again.....:thumb:Quote:

Loving the wings in colour they look cool as btw

So if he leaves them a few days he will have to flat them off, re-colour, and then laquer?Quote:

Yep, if your gonna go over deeper scratches you might wanna look in to some green stopper, its a putty that air drys and is ment to fill deeper scratches and chips that you can base over..
which I presume is better than normal filler?
Yeah, as you'll need to primer over normal filler, before paint.
