Did you use plastic primer?
My hand to Japs eye co-ordination is great!!!
yes.
can you speed up the drying by runnin a hair dryer over it?
Can do. Keep it moving, not in one place, Plus not too close

alright i'll go try that now.
thanks by the way.
just put on there the first coat of red...***k it i'm surprised like..it looks alot better than i thought it would!
but i only put it on very dusty..i'll put on another coat in a few minutes
just gonna put the sealer on in ten minutes,how long do i have to wait befor i can put it back in the car then??
or once its dry can i just put it straight back in?
Build up a few more layers of red and rub down. Dont rush it! It'll go manky. Then a couple of layers of laquer, good polish up once all hard and dry and jobs a good un

i've put on 4 layers off red.. how many more?
That'll do. Is it hard to the touch? let it go off for an hour atleast keep it in a warm place/airing cupboard? See what the finish is like, rub sown with wetn dry in water if need be, then give it some coats with laquer

ya its hard when you touch it.
alright i'll leave it for a hour then laquer it.
how longs it take laquer to dry?
Dont know! Really you should give the job a whole day to do right. No point in rushing something if its going to look naff. Wouldnt want my car given a repray in one day!

ya i heard that,why shouldnt you do it in the cold?
the laquer can lose it's shine sometimes when dun in the cold (cloud)! you usually can't fix it either when that happens like u can with orange peel!! if you get orange peel it's easy enough to flat back (wet sand) then compound and wax.

got any pics of the progress yet mate? I did this in my old car, i think i rushed it a bit(but was only doing a test) and it ended up looking a bit tacky, but im sure doing a few layers and taking your time like you have it will look mint!
i just did the digi dash yesterday and gettin into the hole at the front was the worst bit.
im doing round the vents today.
i think i may have also rushed the digi dash..
