best thing to do first of all before chucking money to at, buy some carb cleaner from halfords, dave edwards, lds etc...take off the air box...arm yourself with an old toothbrush, and go nuts, dont worry, the carb cleaner wont cause any problems if you spray alot!:) hope it helps

yeah its consistant, i gave the whole thing apart from the roof like 4 coats, theres no spray stoke marks, its a really good finish, and the only reason the roof isnt, is because im thinking of spraying it white:D... just bough some deep dish alloys, all blackk:D

for a good finish you want to let the top coat harden before applying laquer, e.g. 2/3 days and then laquer it...layer by layer, built it up slowly and dont apply to much at once, obviously you know you dont wana spend all this time spraying it to get it right and then have to rub it all down again ...
