David W Posted May 15, 2020 Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 Honest answer? I’d pay a professional. It’s the biggest and most visible bit of bodywork and a home brew job is never going to look good in the sunlight. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finish with 2K lacquer and wear a proper mask Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simon young Posted May 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2020 yes evil the paint and the graphics are from the factory i suppose I will just take the lacquer off and graphics and go from there cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
