got a bit done this weekend, it finally seems to be gettin somewhere now, the only things left to spray are the two front guards and lower tailgate, then its put it all back together.
the colour is actually a lot lighter in the sun and yes its stayin flat, thats why theres flattening base in the paint, oh and ive still got to add blue metal flake to the roof :twisted: 8)

was bored so thought id add pics of the roof finished, done it last week.
the roof is obviusly white then i had a litre of clear made up with the metalflake init and a blue pearl added aswell(its hard to see the pearl in fotos but in person looks aweesome)
then theres 4 litres of clear on top of that not mixed(so if u include thinners all up bout 9 litres of clear on top to give it that deep look)
15 mins of wet and dryin and then halfa on the buffer and thats the result :D 8)

Very nice and shiny. :D :D :D

4 litres of Clear on top ? 9 Litres all up ? Just on the roof ?
That's a lot of clear.
How many coats did you end up doing ? :? :?
