Are you meant to sand inbetween coats? Dont you leave that till the end?

interloper393

a pro shop probly wouldnt but i do, means that theres no imperfections between coats, otherwise it will show through everycoat after.. then when you sand at the end, if its a piece of dirt, you`l be left with a chip in the paint when its removed..

K rears been painted, still very patchy tho so reckon 4 coats should do it.. also 800 wet n dry sanded the bonnet and wing ready for the clear coats to be sprayed on.. getting close to the finish lol

Looking cheeky....are you going to carry on with the diagonal black stripes at the rear, or keep it all red?

yamaster

just an idea but a strip of white seperating the black from red would look savage IMO

interloper393

stripes should set it off a treat, great job mate. Nice to see someone doing a quality hands on job like that, full respect.

Well done for keeping the bumper black too. Much more cohesive.

A good thick masking tape would be what I\'d use. that way tyou could follow the line you have created with one edge, this will duplicate the same line the other side!!
