We are not completely satisfied with the overall look and feel and this stage. It is very tricky to replicate the flaws in paintwork. It’s much easier to carry out a perfect paint job but when the car has years of battle scares that you are trying to preserve it takes time and effort to make it look and feel authentic.
The paint looks too fresh and there are too many brush strokes in it but it is a great base to work on. We are now looking to roll another thin layer on top to build up the layers and possibly then look to buff out the shine.
Different lights and different angles reveal different imperfections.
Imperfections on this project are actually seen as a positive but too fresh and too clean gives off the wrong impression.
Back to the drawing board on this one…
