Right, that's all panel done in their primary colour, no major disasters. Got a run on rear footboard but not too bothered about that. I'm gonna leave it to properly harden now for a few days. Sorry bout picture quality. Well pleased so far

Well left it best part of a week to harden before masking off and spraying contrasting green. Really pleased so far

Any updates on progress. Just started painting mine, are you hand polishing or machine?

believe me I know.....flatten off first then spray, those little dust flecks will cause you more problems and paint waste, then you'll get frustrated and make more mess of it, be patient and take time, I done my side panels 4 times now cos of impatience and not thinking

Just realized I never posted finished job.
Hand polished it to finish off, really pleased with the finish I got considering 1st attempt. Not sure of colour scheme design now but hey it's ok. Only observation I'd make it the paint is really " brittle" and chips easy, maybe I should have put a clear coat over the cellulose? I don't know if I've done anything wrong...

Nice job you've done there, don't worry about the odd chip, easy to touch in with celly and flat back.
