The two front wings for wifey's pop. These are fibreglass and were not very good mouldings. I've had to do a lot of work to get them to an acceptable standard. I've added some bonded in brackets for wing braces.
From the gun, one has a run and some orange peel to sort but that's what sanding and polishing is for.
To get enough space for spraying these I had to roll the Pop out into the drive for the first time in some years, the first time I had seen the paint in the sunshine. It really pops, pleased with that.

Looks great
Do you have any problems with the paint looking different doing the panels individually?

Not so far except for the bonnet panels. I'm not totally happy with them but I strongly suspect the amateur doing the job rather than anything else. I need to see it properly outside (it was mostly sheeted over today) before I decide if I need to redo it. I'll leave it until after the BIVA anyway.Looks great

I've given up predicting to be honest. It's running, needs some laptop time though. Glass and trim to do, heater plus other bits and bobs.
Next year looks good if I stick at it.

My internal garage wall with White Sandtex exterior grade paint. I spent about 12 hours of DA sanding, tracking cables and filling lots of old screw holes in the days leading up to today so Im pleased how it turned out
Example of the prep-
Done
This will allow me to start fitting new high level white electrical containment for all new surface sockets etc. The bolts are for shelves to be installed tomorrow also.

We used Sandtex on our exterior render and it's stood up really well for quite a few years now.

Looks great!
Re colour matching did you spray them all at the same time and the above is you working through the final wet flat and polish stage?
I wonder could spraying metallic paint at different times / angles cause colour mis matches.
