ALLLLL the parts are now laquered, need to leave em for a day or two before i start the task of flatting and polishing.
ive got the nagging feeling like ive forgotten something but im pretty sure its all there lol.

eugh i hate clearcoating with a passion lol :(

lol i told you all it was gonna be loud !
clearcoat is hardening nicly, got one poxy run in the clear... but luckily im not the oen polishing it as my mate ( my usual clearcoater) as opted for the job... itl take till he end of the week but its worth it lol

after the polish its almost done... when i have a nice surface to work on ill use my other favourite technique and add some old school pinstriping over the top of the flames. the beauty of pinstriping though.... if it looks crap you have 3 hours to wipe it off lol

One pannel 'flatted' - basically sanding the pannel donw until the surface iis perfectly smooth, then it is polished

Now i COULD wait for my mate to polish it, or i can jhave a crack at doing it by handf, like ive done here, you can see where ive p[olished, and which bits are left flat by looking at the reflection of gras.... DAYUM thats shiney :D
