I know what you mean am on only my 3rd car but am learning there is a system of doing them .like jumping around the instructions. Then you got to remember what you haven't done.

[Coops]

Exactly.. and not looking forward to masking the black window trims...

MRP Super Gloss First coat laid down and looks good. Smooth as and no thinners or leveling thinners required.. sprays as smooth as any of the MRP paints.. am impressed

Its looking good i have seen people useing marker pens to do windows havent tryed it yet but may give it a go has i always get paint where it shouldnt be

[Coops]

OO you mean like a sharpie?.. i saw someone use them to help clear mold lines...that sounds like its worth a try and a gloss coat over it.. maybe?
EDIT: looks shite... guess masking it will give me something to do while the show is on tonight...
