Re:

Looking great what type of paint / paint process are you using? two pack, enamel, rattle can! I have done a few frames at home and want to get a more resilient finish so keen to know what approach you use.

Cheers, so far it's been acid etch primed, solvent base white and base red. Next I will sponge custom graphics, add decals, 2 pack clear coats and infrared light bake and polish.

I forgot to ask what tools do you use, paints and so on? It would be nice to see the work in progress if you know what I mean.

Had a few hours to spare today, so went to Tesco and selected a suitable sponge £1, here are some progress pics

Cut out my tracing and stuck to frame and started sponging!

If I get time tomorrow I will clear coat

How it was at the start...
