i just started laquering, ive done two thin coats so far and to be honest it looked alot more shiny before i started laquering it,

im hoping that once its properly dry and had a good polish it will really shine  :cool:

ive just been and looked at it and i think that using laquer was a bad idea,  the paint looks really dull,and patchy not shiny at all, i wish i had just left it un-laquered as it was really nice and shiny red before i laquered it.

im a bit mifed now as it seems all my hard work has been for nothing
anyone know wot i should do

probly cos ur advising me on somthing u know nuthin about    :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

nah im just kiddin, i apreciate ur help

ive brought the bumper inside to dry in a nice hot room with a heater, the paint looks dull and in some places it looks slightly pink, 

for some strange reason the only place wich looks really shiny is underneath were the numberplate goes wich i cant understand, i definatly sprayed it evenly,

do u think i need more laquer??
