then chuck some clear over the top hopfully.

All done by a spray can
cost me $50 haha

clear will make it shiny. well at least a semi-gloss. you know this yeah?

and it's all going to start falling off in a month or less.

yeah, but he is going to be using a spray can (enamel)

you ever used enamel clear?
it comes out like s*#t.

looks really dry, and stays sticky for a fair while.

not to mention that it's going to be hard to get build with, because there is f*#k all pressure in the can, so he will be flogging it on and in vic it's freezing.

all of which will make it run big time.

good luck, im interested to see this.

ya can get a clip on thing to go on a spray can that turns it like a spray gun, so not to bad really. haha.

got dress rings on it all round now, got some chrome nuts from autocrap but they where the wrong size.

not 100% sure about clean just yet, and the paints just temp cos i was sick of looking at the faded red. found out a guy that comes into work has a spray booth setup in his garage and said i can use it when i need to. so think im going to try get it abit straighter then start again.

faded red is an easy fix.

ah it was way past buff stage. was down to a white colour on the bonnet.

black looks alot better anyway in my opinion. still needs one more coat of black to touch up afew parts here and there.

It looks like a whole different car.

My first nimbus was mat black. Instead of washing it to neaten it up, I just blew another coat over it too.
