Then I used some accelerator and clear coat which I use when I spray cars also added is a slight but if thinners I think it's 2 to 1

The steels are wiped over with cleaners I get rid of grime and oil that fingers can lea e and any oils

Then I spray it in a booth which is heated and has ventilation AND IS HEATED KNOWN AS AN OVEN
Basically it what I use to spray car bits

Then spray and leave them to harden at least a day and this will be hard enough to polish to

OH I FORGOTTO ADD A PICTURE OF THE HARDENER AND THE FACT I GET ALL KITTED UP LIKE WALTER WHITE FROM BREAKING BAD ....

WELL A BREATHING MASK AND OVERALLS AS THIS STUFF ISNT GOOD FOR BREATHING IN A CONFINED SPACE

Must admit that's some bloody good work mate! If you do decide to start offering a service I may have to send some your way!
 
I must be the only person that actually likes matte lol gloss is nice but so is matte. Couple of my glosses are total fingerprint magnets which is frustrating sometimes!
 
Wouldn't it have been easier to just use Howie's thread with the tutorial and stuff in?

Or you giving yourself work and editing it all into here Kelly ;)
 
This one was created by someone else this morning so I just decided to rename it and make it the official glossing thread. I didn't know there was a tutorial in the other one.

EDIT: Threads Merged

:oohyeah:

As Marks first customer, look what I got this morning. :D

What can I say, Rango was one of my favourite steels, but in gloss it's taken to another level :drool:. The same goes for The Little Mermaid.

I was really looking forward to TLM when Zavvi announced it. But Disney took an amazing opportunity and somehow managed to make it extremely mediocre.

Never thought I'd see this steel proudly displayed on my shelf. But that's where it is now, thanks to Mark. :thumbs: Amazing work and I will be back for more, that's for sure.

The following before and after pics are all unaltered, straight out of the camera.
