Now i said i wouldnt put these up as last night i was devastated with the outside finish, proper upset me after evrything else going ok.
Basically the finish is awefull, very even with only 2 small runs, but very orange peely, it did this on the third coat so thinking maybe dry spray or to hot etc etc as i was being overcareful. After a good nights sleep and looking at it i think it will flatten, if not i will just have to sand it back a touch and do another coat which at the end of the day was truly expected as even experienced guys have bad days and i have only picked up a gun for 4 days in total.
So there we go, even when things seem to go ok, with total inexperience there will always be something to bite you in the **** and remind you of such :(
Battleship grey FTW!
Looks well Dan, liking the choice of colour.
very good but i was hopeing it was brown lol.
Looks good mate and ive still got your grill on the back seat of my car.
Well Dan I cant tell 100% from the pics as to how bad (according to you) it is, as it still looks like as you say you could flat it, or try another coat on top, are/have you putting a coat of lacquer on?
But i am still loving it!:thumb:
You'll just have to take my word for it on the quality, bay and inside is ok so its a great shame, but there we are.
No need for laquer as its a gloss paint, as seen in the pics its plenty shiney enough even in untouched form without a flat and a polish.
I'm just pleased the colour is as good as i hoped, now come to a sunny day and it could look totally different again, but i doubt by much as its just a flat colour paint, no fancy pearl or metallic. What i can say is i checked out any shadows the arches i blended in picked up and ran my eye across the area's, and i do believe i got away with that quite nicely lol
Ah well, just give her a good mopping over then and thats that.
