That does look pretty damn goodWill have to pick up a centre panel and give it a go sometime and hope it turns out half as good as that.
Nice
It'll be interesting to see what it looks like on the car.
Im bored in between coats of laquer so thought id put a better picture up..
Looks nice and tidy mate! I'd have a go at mine but CBA for the time beingSomething I have considered doing in the past though but the amount of time put me off - mainly as it would be eating into my extremely limited spare time. Time I could spend playing with our little one.
Thats amazing, so did you just use tail light tint spray to go over the filler, or did you paint it black first, then tint over it, followed by lacquer?
Great, another job i can do whilst the weather is crap and i can still work on my car!
Nice work mate. Well done.
Cheers Aj
I spent a few hours last night giving the panel a wet rub down, lots of t cutting and then lots of polishing. It ended up like this..
Fitted this morning. Before...
After....
Job done
super job, what lacquer did you use when finishing, and was it tint spray you used on the lights???
The tint is from ebay £9.90 delivered...

The laquer was £1.69 from the local cheapo shop.
I rather like that
Gives it a much cleaner look
From the pics it looks like you have done a good job of matching the lines too
I like this alot just a shame about the colour imperfections where the badge was apart from that it looks well done.
You have me convinced to do this now!!!Originally Posted by Smiths14a
Just out of interest have you much light visability from the reverse lights since you.ve them sprayed over?
I think it looked better before

Looks the doggs matey, so did you paint black over the filler, or just use the tint spray?
Cheers fella
I gave the filler area a quick few coats of normal black spray paint, then tinted. Tbh I guess I did about 15+ coats of tint so the filler may not have shown through anyway but i didnt want to take the chance.
