which finish??

Post by innes »

morning, spent some hours using the filler this weekend on my trusty MK1. Got some good results and being a white car used white primer and white acrylic spray, all looks good although i need to get a shine/gloss. The end product looks pretty flawless but is quite dull, almost as if it has been finished in primer!! what can i do to smooth it and make it proper shiney??

the paint tin advises me not to use laquer over acrylic paint.

just use a good rubbing compound like G3, then T-Cut, then a good coat of wax :)
