It's clean now lol my other half done it just after I finished painting.

[cavaliersri130]

Well finished the alloys now just got to get the tyres fitted now.

[Rage]

how do you manage to sand the little corners? it's something i always struggle with and then the paint ends up falling off because of my crap prep work due to the corners

I used scotch pads for little corners.
And then a sanding block and sandpaper.
It's not the best finish ever on them but they are much better than before believe me.

and that works even in places like the bolt holes on the wheels and the centre caps?

[gsi pie]

Yep most certainly m8 that's how I do it.

[cavaliersri130]

It's gloss black with lacquer over the top to give it a little more shine and protection.

[terkin]

the roof is a must,id leave the bonnet other than proper carbon just looks like youve wrapped someone up the arse

[cavaliersri130]
