yor not having any dramas with the paint blooming i've been painting some white on the HR and it nearly looks like it's flat white

Nah Mick no blooming fingers crossed

ive been putting the panels in the sun to warm up
then bringing them back into the shed painting them
then back out in the sun seems to work ok
the wind was more of a problem

The first pic's of that color I kept my thoughts to myself (wasn't sure) but now with the rest of the car done it looks great, almost a modern update of Valley mist green, to me anyway (put them side by side and they could be totally different), well done mate

thanks Trev it does have a green and a silver tinge to it on certain angles
started putting the chrome back on and looks even better

makes the blue stand out nicely
