NIKH25 Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 Looks Alrite to me! For a spray can job. Where did you get the paint from?It doesn't look anywhere near as bad as it did on Saturday and it's bearable but you can really see it close up. Paint and lacquer was from paints4u, lacquer was only a fiver so I can't really moan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all honesty mate, im not sure what i could do different! Primer went down well, sanded back so it was smooth as a babies bum.. Colour went on well, again slight brush over with some 1500 and was smooth as hell too .. It was the top coat. I think that maybe lacquer doesnt like being in a can .. I may bite the bullet at somepoint and get it done profesionally .. When i have skirts and decided whether im going lips too .. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Would it be worth rubbing back then going over it with a degreaser/cleaner before hitting it with lacquer again? Might have reacted with something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3gdean Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 Hate aerosols.Flat it smooth, try not to break through though.Warm the can up with a hot air gun, get it really quite warm/hot, this increases the pressure in the can, should lay on smoother. Want to be about 10-12 cm aways. Lay that s**t on!You also want to check the nozzle on the can, you can get different ones. You want a fan style not spot style! () not oTrust me warming the can makes a big difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

() not oTrust me warming the can makes a big difference Thanks for the hints and tips chap, awesome. I did warm it up originally but it probably cooled down a fair bit by the second coat. I didn't realize it could make that much difference. Everything else sounds like I was doing it right, distance, heavy coating and nozzle is fan like you say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
