    Its getting a treatment as well, what your looking at is my "warrent of fitness" bumper, that lude pic has the bumper held in by cable ties, some wof places object to that.

    UPDATE,
    Finally ive had a day of little wind, so things are moving again, albiet slowly,

    heres my half assed wet sanding, involving a running hose and sandpaper :O


    i took a close up while it was drying, but theres not alot to see


    Now once all the water had evap'd i took this pic of it dry and semi- shiney looking


    First coat of paint, applied in a carefully haphazard manner Yea, it really looks shitty from this angle, i havnt done anything but apply the paint, and am leaving it to dry, before i do another rough sanding to take out the crappiest bits.


    If nothing else, its all a matter of where you look from at the moment


    To do, rough sand the first color coat back to remove any really bad flaws, then 2nd coat, lightly sand everything perfect from there, then 3rd coat, and hopefully perfect, ish.
