Okay, so heres some better photos from the other night after the buffing session. (Currently getting new electrics installed so had no real lighting the other night).
Not too bad, i know the boots a different shade probably due to being from a 1993 last of the line E30 but that can be sorted at a later date.....
Right, so i decided to do the bonnet white until the new compressor arrives, i just want this on the road as soon as possible as my SAAB runs out of MOT soon and my Astra GSi is WAY too loud to drive around in all the time!
At this point i ran out of white paint (Bare in mind i`m using spray cans here), so i decided to go with satin black on the other 2 sides of the bonnet.....
The bonnet i sprayed on Saturday night, it took a few hours but i got it done, i did it in satin black as a basecoat and the a fewmore coats using gloss black.
I left the paint to harden for 24 hours and had a go at rubbing it down by hand on the front.
These are the results using 1000 and G3 (no wax yet), i will do the rest via machine when i get the chance.....
Another thing to note is that this colour is a temporary thing, it will be painted to it`s original red once i get a compressor, it`s amazing what you can do with rattle cans though when you put your mind and time to it eh?
