gah
so i sanded down the paintjob yesterday
cudnt get it smooth and cbfed going out to get 500 grit sandpaper
ended up going from a 4cm graze to a 30cmx20cm area where i sanded the edges of the little "squared off" area.
*facepalm*
so luckily that was mostly swirl marks
i repsrayed the whole area and JUST ran out of paint.
i revisited the 3 points of the side skirts where i did it "right"
peeled off the newspaper to find that the "fixed" section was too thick, so basically the paintwork with clearcoat are PERFECT and silky smooth, but i bloody sprayed on too many layers so it didnt blend in LOL
so u can see random triangle sections near the corners haha
oh well i cbfed fixing them. I tried to smooth out the edges but didnt work and only made it worse cause the primer started to show through. i squeezed the can out of its last drop of paint and covered those up
i will have to smooth out everything and add clear coat tomorrow.
lesson learnt....get it done professionally, or be fkn patient! i got impatient and sprayed a thick dripping layer on, instead of light coats.
