That finish is stunning. What was your process?

Thanks, I sanded off the horrible soft feel coating that Porsche applied with some 180 grit then sanded the 180 grit scratches out with some 320 then wet and dry 800,

I then applied some high build primer left it over night and then wet and dry that with 800.

I then sprayed on the silver 2 pack base coat then some 2 pack clear coat.

I have to admit I do have a bit of experience was a spray gun as for a hobby i build miniature fully working minature land rovers that run on mobility scooter motors

In saying that its not that hard to spray as its all in the prep
