Thanks guys.

Got some colour on. This is nail polish over glass black lacquer. Not entirely happy with the finish, but I am still getting used to spraying colour with an airbrush and nail polish plays some really weird tricks. It seems to have penetrated through the primer and affected the bodywork. Very irritating but hopefully I can save it with a lot of clear.

............is the nail polish enamel? and what are you thinning it with?.........sounds odd man! Shocked

Seems like every nail polish is different. Even the same brand. Some you can thin with regular thinners and others need acetone. Either way - this one didn't go too well...

That's looking great but my vote would be with Allan for black cherry.I'm old enough to think it belongs on those old sleds.Still a beautiful job tho.Stance is dead nuts guy.Well done.Best to you ,Bill

Nice mods Bryce, coming along well and i am sure any faults in the paint will be hidden with a generous covering of clear to bring out that sparkle..
