Not bad for a DIY job in a normal size garage

That looks great! What did you use to achieve that finish?

2K base coat and a anti scratch clear coat, then flattered down with 1500/200 grit wet and dry. Then polished up with mop.

I like it, but perhaps some stripes on the wheel arches too ?

Spot on looks really good

Like it! That's a good finish

where did you get the paints/clear coats etc from? I'm 50/50 about painting my bodywork based on the finish I can achieve vs cost of having it done professionally. I just lack the patience myself lol

You used 2K paint in your garage What did you do about PPE, I thought that full BA was essential when using 2K.

Very nice finish though, I just hope that it hasn't cost you your lungs.

I built a spay booth out of plastic with extraction into a 45 gallon drum outside the garage with vents and a bit of diesel in the bottom to catch vapour. large filter for the air in, Also i have an air fed mask.
