Very nice mate.
Front looks very high even for standard or is it just me? Or your photo angles?
Like the exhaust, but not how its sitting, rear lights from ph2 are a must, lower it, 16" oz f1's, heaven!
Thanks for the info mate, just think I need to be more confident....
I've always been REALLY impressed with the results of rubbing compound, especially on alloys, but i've been to scared to use it on body work since making a small section of mine very hazy with it!
I'm gonna give it a go a bit...
I already have a tin of rubbing compound, (I'll get a pic tmrw) i've used it on some imperfections in body work before and it leaves it very flat and non shiny? Is it just a case of getting some srp on it after that or am i missing the trick somewhere?
A polishing compound I assume not a rubbing compound?
I've used rubbing compound before and it seems to make things very matte, never used polishing compound though, what effect does this have?
Don't worry I havent been spraying lately, only in nice warm environments, this was a few weeks ago, I ended up with orange peel and had to re-do. I'm glad its not just me who needs to do as thick coats as possible without it running :)
Cheers matey
Even in a warm garage (electric heater) i get an orange peel'ish affect if i dont apply enough lacquer, is there anything to stop this though?? I feel like it'd be easier to apply several thin coats, but never wanna risk getting it looking shite

Glad your paint went ok mate, how did you sand the lettering and lines so perfectly? Cool news on the metal polishing kit. I'm sure you'll find more uses for it!
My technique may not be refined, but my answer to this is.......
Put thicker coats on, I can't seem to get smooth effect with thin coats no matter how hard I try, keep spraying and it starts to look all wet, glassy and smooth, but when this happens STOP straight away! Too much, and it'll run, I...
