if you on the east side. i got mine done at this auto paint shop on the corner of blackburn and dandenong road... but any auto paint shop should be able to do the mixing. ~$30/can?
You should have done a few more things to it though in prepping (personal opinion hehe) do you have high quality photos of it upclose ? It seems there is high amount of orange peel on it (judging from those photos).
If you sand the primer back with like a 1500 wet grit than you will end up with something a little more shiney and smooth like this which didn't have clear coat on it yet:
I had a similar experience when colour coding my Grille. I too have resulted with orange peel effect.
Is there anything i can do at this stage to reduce the effect. Perhaps sanding with a smooth grit (1000/2000) then respraying with clear acrylic?
or is this just a pointless task. With me, the primer didn't seem to be very rough, and so i didn't sand. it was actually the coloured paint that made it rough.
I plan to be colourcoding a lip and my sideskirts soon enough myself, so would hope to perfect this soon.
if youre working with a replica lip, is it ok to paint it before you throw it on? , cause most replicas arnt perfect fit, so it is alright to bend it (after painting) in order to make it fit? or will it f*ck up the paint?
