Oh and even the best of the pro's who spray all day get the occasional run if they are honest. Problem is Thatcham times make no allowance for them so bonus eludes them.
Think this will be my last gloss paint job for a while until I get a better and bigger space to paint. Got a mk2 Consul which wants another coat of satin black, hopefully I won't cock that up !

Well quick update. Had dramas with the next coat, suited up and ready to go and the gun was clogged with clear that kicked in it the day before. Stripped the gun, sorted that out, sprayed fine but lost my gun setting and got a few more runs. I've taken most of them out with a razor and 800 grit so I should be OK on most panels. Started polishing the clear on other panels and it was apparent that the 1200 scratches were not coming out with G3, so I've had to go back over it with 1500 and 2000 and G3 again and I got the shine I wanted. Have some G10 on order so will finish off with that.
Going up to 2000 grit now in all panels, got most of it done waiting on g10 and black mop to arrive and will kick on with that.
I do have one problem though, I've burned though on an edge and because is candy it's a ****** to tough in. I've blended it in with more candy base but I'm wondering whether to re-clear the whole tail section or try blending with fade out thinners ? Also worried about painting again now I've moved onto compounding. G3 bottle says it doesn't contain any silicone, but am i going t have problems painting over a surface that's had G3 on it ?
If its a horizontal panel you may struggle to hide it and to be fair, its as quick to re shoot the panel as muck about with fading/blending. Farecla is water based so no problem with silicone, just re key and shoot. I tend to mask edges and sharp swage lines off before mopping and finish by hand.
