Paint looks good dude, come up quite flat good work.
I really like the loon/5door front arches on there.
Looks tastey.

Love it! the wings look good and the whole car looks purposeful like it could rip you in half. The paint came out really well and you deserve a pat (just one though) on the back for your efforts top job!
Did you get my PM?
Adam - I've just asked the wings, and they said they didn't like the look of you either lol lol
Benn - so would you recommend me using 1500 grit to get them shiney shiney... will this also reduce the little bit of orange peelyness I have?
James - thanks pal, function over form :thumb: and PM replied... took me an age to do! lol
Thanks for the reply mate i appreciate it was a pain in the ass to answer but great info :thumb:
Yes, being very carefull of all edges and swages lines, and anywherre you flat off you need to be able to polish up, so dont go in to any hard to get to areas you cant get in to.Quote:

Try a bit of 2500grit paper, start on a bigger bit of the pannel, you want it to look like this when youve flatted it back.
You can see the orange peel going.

Dont need to be a dull looking. All depends on how flat(shiney) you want the paint. If its not working so much with 2500 then try 2000 or 1500 (can send you a sheet if you need) Ues warm soapy water and keep it wet.
Good advice there Benn!
Cheers for the group buy link BTW Olly great idea IMO!
Cheers J
Colour match looks great in the pics Olz!
You just need to weld the next bit on the back and slam it ;)
