I flattened the paint then smoothed the sides with some plating before 2 coats of " BIN " paint in matt.The BIN paint was fantastic to use as it covers anything.Hopefully in the winter i will get more time to finish coat the body but at the moment the paint was £26 and plating was £20 so its been cheap,cheap.Took it to Beacon Fell camp site for an outing.
That BIN paint is brillant stuff.It keys to anything.I asked the guy in the shop to mix the colour from a photo of a old 62 Capri.I can laquer it too should i want it glossy but for now its getting used
Heres the stuff
