Be a lots easier to build a pick up- I mean if you are going to rape an E-type why not do it propper like.!
The E type, indeed a great looking car. I remember hearing somewhere that all E type bonnets are made just a bit too long, then adjusted to fit the individual car - I wonder if the kit bonnet fits better !\ said:

First round of buffing done 3M seems to work well will buff the bonnet tomorrow to give the paint more time to set.

That paints turned out bloody well, mate!
Isn't the lacquer only meant for a metallic or pearl finish? I'm only saying that because I was spraying a real car part last week and the lacquer was a bugger!

Excellent finish john , a solid colour doesnt usually have a laquer topcoat . Its used over metallics as these paints are a lot more prone to damage One other thing is that a laquer coat will make the paint job thicker and cover up the details a bit more . cheers tony
