I'm just now back to the point of re-painting it myself. All the mockup work has been done.

Best of luck with the new paintjob. Sometimes it really is best to let a multi- layer paintjob airdry without baking. People think that a baked finish is the be all & end all, but the reality is that bake ovens are really only best for volume throughput in the bodyshop. Even when baked, it's really only the surface that is fully cured, it's a misconception to think it's through hardened.Look forward to seeing the finished car.

if you or any of the other Lateral-g members want advice about paint or bodywork issues I'd be more than happy to help.
