Looks lot's better painted... Joey modded headlights next. 

Thanks I'm gonna get the wheels done first, don't want to take on too much and end up not finishing things I've started

  Fair enough.

Wheels
Today has been a bad day for me really. I've been waiting for this plaster board cutter tool to arrive, basically a big drawing compass with a circular blade on to cut rather than draw. My intentions were to cut 2 circles out of paper/card or something similar and make a thin circle to go round the lip of the wheel I was painting exposing the center spokes but then I would mask the rest up with newspaper.

I was hoping the tool would allow me to cut a perfectly round circle though this wasn't the case as the blade was just too dull and it was tearing the cardboard box I was using and then the same happened when I used poster card and paper

This is sort of what I'm trying to do so you can the idea. (Ignore the bad circle this was a practice with thin paper but you get the idea of what I'm doing)

Mask off the lip with the circle and then use newspaper for the rest of the lip so when I paint and remove it all the spokes are painted more or less in a perfect circle and the polished lip remains , sadly proving to be a big hassle and I'm considering going all one colour on these wheels now OR completely polished though I'm not sure on this one yet

VR6 Side trim
I finally got round to clear coating the side trim and it's ready to go on though some IDIOT has glued my old side trim on... so I've got blobs of glue down the side of my car and 90% of the clips have broken, so I've brought a pack of short and long clips off eBay and will continue with that tomorrow Will I be alright to add a blob of no more nails to help keep them on? Because some of the strips didn't stay in place hence the masking tape on one side.

Red Rear Lights
Decided to give tinting the rear lights a go today so gave them a thin coat, covering up the reverse light (which doesn't work anyway) and slightly tinting the indicator. It looks much darker in the images I'll get a better image of them on the car tomorrow in day light hopefully. I think the indicators will be alright but I'll test them on the car tomorrow because if they're not orange it'll have to come off

That's all for today!

Any way of sharpening the blade on that cutter?

Any way of sharpening the blade on that cutter?

That would be the best solution I spose and some thinner card to cut the circles on Not sure how you even sharpen a blade to be honest. *google*

Just stop being lazy and take the time to mask it properly!

  I want it to be 'perfect' and in the attempts I've made it's not been to the standard I want it at all
