Okay then, lots of pics now of how I snatched defeat from the jaws of victory, and all because Im a bit of a perfectionist, and because window tint spray is evil stuff, evil I say:
All going well uptill now, achieved a *beautiful* paint effect on the hood, just what I was after. There are somethings you can do with a paint brush that you cant do with an airbrush, and viceversa, hence my love of watercolours. In hind site at this point I should have just painted the hood and left the rest well alone, backing it up with white to get a good finish. But no...
I foolishly thought it would be a good idea to back the hood with dark blue first, to avoid the white showing through the gaps between the brushstrokes. Bad idea, as now you could see a distinct dark area under the front half of the hood, and lighter area where it wasnt backed ( towards the windshield ).
