That's how it looked after I done it but I didn't lacquer it and it faded after awhile to this:


I had crashed it at that stage and changed the bumper wing and headlight. I started messing about with spray cans then as you can see lol.

Haha no bad all my trims is sprayed just the car is rollered not going be everyone's choice but it's freshened it up

Only thing I don't like about roller painting a car is they all come out with a textured look, yours doesn't look anywhere near as bad as most I've seen, I didn't even see the texture until I zoomed in on it so I think it should turn out pretty good

Paintwork looks suprisingly good!
From the photos, you could mistake it for red from factory!

Well done

I love projects like this mate fair play to you and the quality for roller painting your car has actually come out pretty good! Did you primer the full car before you painted it or just flatten the old paint back?
