That doesnt look very smooth at all mate. Did you sand it properly?

Matches your bumper though :lol:

i only bought 400 wet n dry really wish i bought some 200 but oh well it will do for now
its only my first attempt
and im well happy with it

I had mine that colour on a Silver C

 

[karl-cdti90ps]

its stunning but the under side of the shell i have had to re sand down and in the middle of primering it again to start the rubbing down all over
there was lines showing through on the first coat of paint
so rather than making it look worse i decided to re do it

saw painting in action was looking very good, its smoother than looks. should look ace when finished.

 

[karl-cdti90ps]
