Aye I was gutted not having mine at the show (albeit a show full of arsewipes with no respect for other poeples property) so when i went home i corrected as many of the defects as i could find redone the masking etc and got it done, laqcuer should be on tonight so some shiney sun pics should appear on wednesday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

safcdixon Posted June 23, 2013 Author Share Posted June 23, 2013 Well tbh guys im not overly happy with the finish ive achieved with the lacquer thus far ive a lot more cutting to do theres a few rough patches in the lacquer mostly on the bonnet and roof which need sorting to a decent standard before il be happy, ive still the whole car to cut but those to areas are the biggest gripe Its looking like im going to have to re-lacquer the bonnet this has put a dampner on the progress BUT a few more days and it will be sorted I think, its absolutely hammering down with rain now so ive come in out the garage for some dinner, il up date this again in the coming days ive reassembled most of the interior now just waiting on my seat bases to turn up, im also waiting on some rear quarter windows before I can finish the interior off some pics to show the lacquer disapointment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
