A productive day. Painted the stainless steel window mouldings and fitted the body decals. Not 100 % happy with the bonnet as the colour is slightly off and edges are visible but even the box art is the same.
Lovely thin decals but quite delicate.

Applied the clearcoat and, apart from a few dirt nibs, am very happy with the body, mirrors, front ballance and rear spoiler. The bonnet looks like a dogs dinner, when I'm back from a weeks holiday and it has fully cured I am considering to flat it down, respray the large silver section and re- lacquer.

What's that wrinkly line near the front of the bonnet? Is there some filler there?

No Pete,
The bonnet decal is the thin stripe and about 2mm into the painted centre section. What you can see is either the edge of the decal or the masking edge of the silver over the green or a combination of both. Hence me wanting to redo the silver centre section but not obliterate the RAM AIR badges.
