Things are comming on now from the last update i put up in the previous thread but i thought i would start a new one as that was getting quite cluttered.

Finally finished priming and guide coating for the 3rd time, all the ripples from the fibreglass are gone now and the body is completly smooth. Once its flatted it will be ready for the topcoat which after many months of debating i have now decided.

all thoughts welcomed :)

That is wide car! You will have to drive around with one if those vans with an orange becon on top that says "caution wide load in front". Looks brilliant, just hope your not planning on going into a multistory car park otherwise you will have to pay for two spaces!

Car looks very cool. Great aggressive looking bodykit.
 
 
But i agree with Nik da Greek

Decals on a freshly painted car? I make car decals myself, and I always tell people to wait at least 4 weeks after painting the car to place decals.
The paint really has to set properly.
