Default Re: A week of ownership and already a few modifications (PIC HEAVY)

Thanks for the positive feedback.

I've now also painted the door handle gloss black:

I also titnted the rear lights out by adding base coat black to lacquer and apply coats till the desired effect is reached that way they have a high gloss finish and still stay very translucent, but as soon as I refitted the them back into the car I was unsure they just didn't look right:

So last night I wet flatted the black back off and this morning I decided to do the same process but instead of adding base coat black to the lacquer I added Blaze Red base coat (the car colour).

I've literally only just painted them so there not hard enough to refit but here's a few pics:

One flatted back:

Mixing the paint:

And applied to the lights:

It's hard to get the camera to pick it up but all the different colours in the red and the metallic in it looks awesome:
