Came out alright that! I guess u did it with Cans?

If u want it really clean and shiney/glossey, give it a couple of days, and rub the whole thing down with T-cut, then polish it up! will look well tidy then!! I know for fact, Halford's glacier white comes out so nice after that. I did my old spoiler like that, and it come out near perfect.

However, i reckon ur gonna see some of that rust some back through unless u sealed all of it with hamerite or summat?

Pete I believe these two pictures answers the question about cleaning it before spraying

Took bloody ages to get all the dirt out of the nooks and crannys.

There is nothing inside the car at all. The rear seat mounts are still in there because I don't have access to anything to cut them off with.

I'm not spraying inside the arches because I will be having two new ones welded in when its sprayed.
