bored so got some paint! -ph1 content

[Martin_172]

was bored so decided to go get some paint etc and do my engine cover pearl black, now im no professional painter, infact it was my first attempt but quite happy with how it turned out, just need some more practice and a spray gun for my compressor would be handy!

 

[Greeny.]

I would be more than happy with that, cleans up the bay nicely. Mint car all round tbh, love it.

 

[Martin_172]

yeah quite happy with it, i beleive i need to go heavyer with the lacquer to get a more shiney finish but its all a learning curve, dont think ill be painting cars any time soon lol but for something like this it turned out fine!

 

[ABOO]

The matt finish looks better IMO anyway mate. Good job

 

[Paul.]

[leeds_182]

Shiny is overrated anyway mate. That looks proper!

[Christopher]

Good first effort mate.

 

[Nick_P]

That looks good! I might get a cover for mine, not sure tho.

 

[Ads_172]

Looks good, don't be shocked if the bonnet insulation / soundproofing rubs against it and ruins the finish...
