Get some new number plates. Its amazing how fresher a car can look with new plates especially when the current ones have mould in them

I was going to use 2pak paint and laquer it but my lecturer told me that i will get the same effect and quality with 2k black which doesnt need laquering and i have to say it comes out really good!

true 2k black will give same finish
but i think its nicer to flat and buff laquered paint cos your not flatting the actual colour down when u could rub through the paint or make it think in places, if that makes sense!
