Re: Jack's FTO GR
You're an impatient bunch aren't you!? 
Well without further ado, here are some pics I took just now. It's had a wash, but needs a polish to bring up the shine to where I want it!
Here's to countless days of sanding, undercoating, more sanding, colour coats, sanding, clear coats and endless fumes
I present to you... The new Red Rocket!
- Repaired VS front bumper
- Repaired gash in VS side skirt
- Replaced rear bumper
- Painted sh*t

Tsk tsk Jack, bowing to peer pressure. 
Next thing you know they'll be all like, "Hey man, you should boost it. All the cool kids are doing it. It's totally safe!"

Hmm.
Blood Panda.
Interesting.
Not a complete fan, but it's different.
I reckon you could have gotten away with a gloss black over matte.
But each their own.
Nice work.

Re: Jack's FTO GR
Bloody top job there obsidian.
You must be very proud of your work.
It looks absolutely fantastic.
Can't wait to get together for pics, or even get together and enter our FTO's into a car show.

Re: Jack's FTO GR
It's got several coats of clear over it, which will gloss up once it's polished. I need to wait for a while or else the heat from the buff will shrink it.Astron_Boy wrote:I reckon you could have gotten away with a gloss black over matte.
