Little Update:

The lacquer is very slighty different, not as smooth, tried cutting compound and a rotary made a little difference.
Tested a small patch with flatting paper and the cutting compound and that did the job.
So tomorrow an early...
I dont really know. I like Team Dynamic 1.2's in gloss black, Dunno what theyd look like on flame. But maybe just some 172 ones in anthra.
Just have to be rid of the 15's
Thanks:)

Came back with some 2k lacquer, thinner and hardener.
50/50 lacquer and thinners, then 20% hardener.
Impressed with the results.
Sorry bad quality pictures.

True haha, i just dont want to say it is a full rep and end up getting everything.
The only thing annoying me is finding cup washer blanks, tempted to just smooth over the holes.
Hoping to fit sport bumpers wings and skirts, Not do a whole rep just the bits i like.
Just looking for a rear bumper atm got everything else waiting to be sprayed:)
Ohh il have to try that then haha.
Depends on the company alot of companies wont even insure you on anything that says sport like that. Best thing is ring them i found as i little white lie saying you got cheaper quotes elsewhere can get you places;)
