What have you done about matching the blue mate? Are you gonna try matching it yourself
Thats box looks great! Is that standard automotive high build primer you are using on that?
That box would look much better on the back of my SE![]()
Here's a question tho... Seeing as it's car paint, can you still use T-cut (very sparingly i hasten to add!) to remove small spray marks and make it look like an overall shine???
You can but unless you have every pock mark and pinhole filled then the T-cut will get stuck right in there and will make the finish look cloudy. Waxing will not pull the t-cut out so will not resolve the issue.
I do however recommend flatting the first finish of colour back with 600 wet and dry to get as close as possible to a dimple free finish and then re-spray two further layers. Allow to cure for 7 days and then gently flat with 12oo wet and dry but avoid the edges and about 15mm from the edge. Get a shine back using a product called G3. You can get this from wilco's.
Finish with a wax that contained canuba.(prob spelt wrong)
Give it 3 good coats of wax to seal in the paint.
I used to repair old classic cars.
Looking good, what you gonna do about the silk screening on the back?
Blooming in the heat I am guessing would be down to the thinners content in the less than quality halfords paint.
......
I then recommend adding a couple of layers of 2k clear over the lot. This is something best done with a gun but some clever bugger has made 2k clear in cans! This will give a high shine and a very hard wearing surface compared to the halfords paint.
Not on Wh2o, Head Blue, Cabinet base is black.Not trying to pick fault but isn't the back of the head normally black?
