yeah, just re-done mine, gave them a light sand down with wet and dry, then gave it about 4 of pearl. they came out alot darker like andy's but when i put them on the car they still look different??!!! lol
totally gutted for you mate! thing is its going to get spotted really easy where ever it ends up because of the colour! I mean my mate spotted the one we so from miles away!!! just stood out.
when you come to polish your car what do most people use to put the polish on? and also take it off?
while i'm asking questions 1 more..........I have some scratchs on my bonnet (like swirls) what would take these out?? Megs Scratch X
The base was fairly thick but the pearl had very watered down look to it. yeah think i'll give it a light sand with some wet and dry and re-coat with a few more layers of pearl. if not i'll have to just buy some new badges! lol
Went to the NEC on sat so fri ngt thought i'd give it a wash, clay, wax and clean out.

They look s**t hot!!!!! yeah thats what a few folk say about it when i show them the 2 pics, could be the lighting or camera etc... best seeing them in the real see if they are different. What was your method of painting them? drying times and how many coats of the base yellow and then pearl...
^^^ yeah I got a base colour which is just yellow, and then i got another can which is the pearl, I gave them 2-3 coats of base yellow then 2 coats of pearl. might get them re-done fancy doing them?? :) how did you paint the silver on after?? silver pen
