Hey guys,

thank you so much for your comments. There was some progress the last weeks. I finished the bodyworks and clear coated the cowling with the new 2k diamond finish clear coat from Zeros... What should I say, it works perfect. The aim was a near to the original paintwork, that means not to much perfection.. its a car from the mid 80´s and its a race car, it hasn't to perform at pebble beach :)

Normally i polish the parts after 1 week of drying. But this time I decided to do it after 12 hours, for me it works..

but lets have a look to the result:

Hey jaykay.... you are right.. but i polished it not until concours level.. you can see this on the first pic, under the nose there are small tiny areas with a bit of (polished) orange peel.. like the original one..
