It\'s not original colour so can\'t do concorse?

Roll the into the sunlight when you re paint, you can see where the paint had fallen better, and patchyness

As i say Grant, i haven\'t got the cleaning skills to go concorse anyway haha

bit hard to roll it outside between coats when its raining and bits blowing about, but by the time the paint is on and hardened its too late.

Just need to use the correct nozzle and put it on heavier :)
