You should keep it up that's mental work from a beginner . I also have someone at work like that, thinks he's god's gift at painting but he's just plain shit.

He's nearly 60, been painting for around 40+ years. He's scared of putting laquer on and then they end up looking dry. He's just painted a BMW boot today and got about 5/6 runs in it, yet dry patches too.

But he's a pain in the arse anyway, I'd we get any new polish to try etc he looks at it and says nah it's shit that.

Ahh only on my phone so hard to tell.

Ok well a silver or a light metallic/pearl next. Black is pretty easy to paint. Its getting a silver or gold to not be patchy or streaky.

Wouldn't really say that. It's 50/50. Doesn't matter of its the best prepped panel and the paint work is shit.
