Please advice.. Cheers bud

2 coats primer , wet sand with 1500 grid afterwards
2-3 coats black paint , wait between coats , wet sand with 2500 grid afterwards
2-3 coat clear lacquer , wait between coats

Cook in the oven for 30min at 40-50C .
wax it and fit it to the car

I've never made one before, this is a first attempt but if it works out well and I find a decent material to make it from I would happily sell them on

I'll probably be posting it on here when it's a bit further on
