These were then left for a week to allow for any movement in the primer.
top work as always , now paint my mirrors and rocker cover :P
The wings were carefully blocked down and were prepared ready for paint. I actually painted these twice as red's have a poor opacity (covering power) they need a lot of coats so I bodied them up with 4 coats of ferrari waterbase paint and lacqeured them. Only to later rub them down and give them 3 coats of ICI solid colour which is exactly what the car was painted in. My theory behind this was to get an exact match and not have to blend any other panels etc. This is how they came out note insides too!! :)

With the stoneguarded insides painted also lets hope they last for a long time! :)
Perfection!!! :)
Over the past few months Ive also decided to rid my car of the chrome engine covers and bling added last year. Ive always liked simple but effective cars so although Id slid from the path in a way after looking at cars like andy bishops I realised clean items dont have to be shiney! They can be nice and subtle as well by just being painted. So another item was painted up ready to replace the old one....
