sorry but why has it not been fully sprayed and just left very dry?
u say it needs more laquer so why not do that when u were doing it?

u can see its easily to dry which means not enough laquer has been applied in the correct application, what laquer are u using?

HS or MS?

its had flake through it so the lacquer needs to be built up to cover it (the flake was put on quite dry) it didnt all get done in one go as its done at college so theres only so long i can do the stuff for before having to go and we ran out of time

it isnt myself who painted it, was done by a time served painter who now teaches too

C4 WLK - its HS lacquer

Laura - the whole point is progress pics, thats why i had a thread up a while ago when i was doing the bonnet etc.

it does look a bit dry at the moment but its been scotched down ready for more laquer when im back at college, will get more pics after that to show the proper finish

by the time that was done it was half 4 and we had finished college for the week, i was working that night at 5 so couldnt stay later to get it finished, hence why it had to be left otherwise it would have been done in one go

i didnt like those nuts with the lights in them, not my thing, neither was the fully smoothed boot since i wanted to keep the bumper smooth so i kept the handle, delocked it due to needing the space behind for the numberplate light

to be honest i though about semi smoothed completely and thought it would just look too plain, i prefer it with the handle

ive been driving the car for about 2 months with the wiper smoothed and the handle delocked and im perfectly happy with it, i dont want it semi smoothed and i dont think i will want it done anytime due to me needing the space for the no. plate light

ok your choice but just looks like the easy way out really, could of gone for the tvr number plate with the light behind it and then you wouldn't of need a light on bumper or in handle
