painting

[VR6_ROB]

I want to paint a few things but how do i make it shiny
when i painted the eyebrow for the polo i put primer on
then the red paint but then what? i want it smooth
so it feels like the rets of the car

be patient. rub down the under coat with very fine wet and dry then wipe off with white spirit. with the top coats do very thin coats, it's dead tempting to do too much, resist the urge. also,each time before you spray put the can in hot water for a few minutes as this will make the spray much finer and give a better finish. if your using a metallic or pearl paint you may need lacquer. follow the same procedure. DO NOT try to t-cut for at least a week. It sounds a long time but it'll give the best results. be patient.

also do it out of draughts and direct sunlight so it all drives easily and with the wet and dry use soapy water gives a much better finish

finish job off with real fine wet & dry paper and lacquer it for a shiny finish, best done in warm surroundings.
