well i'll be :o
like to see it close up but it looks pretty damn good in the pics
i remember an old guy years ago painting a car useing a brush, he did it in acrylic cut all the brush marks out and buffed it, and it came up magic
I read a car painting book years ago that was saying that's the way it used to be done on english limos to get the fantastic shine and depth.
slightly off track but re the english limos, when i was working in the media i got to chat with the Governor General's drivers on occasion and found they used a baby nappy ( clean of course ) and talcom powder for polish with that big black Bently
i say the paint was definately acrylic but geez did they glow. even after 30-40 odd years. and a those drivers had great pride in their vehicles
The down side of painting the cars like that with a brush and then cutting all the brush marks out is you can't really tell how thick the paint is. Which is probably why when you look at the older cars that have been outside and not garaged all the paint is cracked because the paint has been too thick.
As A kid the neighbour use to brush paint his early Holdens with BROLITE brushing enamel and warm it up on the gas stove and it use to come up great with very few brush marks and a deep shine . I remember a HD wagon he painted RED look better than the factory finish He also worked for the Public Transport Commission as a painter brush painting double decker buses for 40 years, some thing about practice makes perfect ......FC427......
