Looks great Dan and Luke, great work there! starting to look more like that photoshop you put up

As the other are saying I'd just wack a bit of laquer on there to bring the shine out but it is looking awesome!

Yeah or take them off and mask them up, obviously if it come up well after a buff there would be no point doing that

Fine grade of wet and dry, flat it back until the paint is perfectly smooth then lacquer. 1500 would do, then again when the lacquer hardens flat it back until smooth as a babys arse and put the buffer on it.

Thats how I did my rocker cover
