i was really looking forward to the satin black being done all over, thought it was going to look quality.
cant really comment on what youve just done. as you say, not finished it so looking at it with red bits it doesnt make sense. time will tell so i will save judgement till i understand more when youve done more bits.

jimmy....yes i was, didnt want to spend anymore money on paint unless i had a gun so just cracked out the olive green and brush
firestate88, its not meant to touch, thats why i masked it like that, and by nomeans am i trying to copy jimmy (thats a major insult to him and his old van imo! lol) it just paint i had, you know i wanted the black from the gun....
cheers for all the replys tho....personally i think its gonna look really good once its all done especially with the black bonnet roof and boot, i know at the minute it looks a right shit heap tho so understand everyones views.....
