Nice one! one thing ill warn you about.. with sanding the gloss paint, watch out as it tends to clump on the sand paper and it will dragg across the surface leaving a nice dent in it, then your back too square one so just be warey of that i know i almost kicked my own teeth in when it happend to me... haha!just catapult the local cat up there. no problems with protected species then cos its "natural pecking order" lol

do u know why that happened?Nice one! one thing ill warn you about.. with sanding the gloss paint, watch out as it tends to clump on the sand paper and it will dragg across the surface leaving a nice dent in it, then your back too square one so just be warey of that i know i almost kicked my own teeth in when it happend to me... haha!
no?
2 simple reasons why it happens.....
1- u didnt rub it down wet.... making sure the wet&dry and surface are both wet will mean less drag and give a smoother finish with less scratching
2- u didnt give the paint enough time to dry... even if the paint is touch dry, its not necessarily fully cured and sanding it will shear it causing clumping and gouges.
ive sanded mine down and its as smooth as u like.... just needs a few more coats to touch up a few areas.
Ohhhhhhh i see! well now i know.. haha! i still got a smooth finish in the end
well, if ya even need any tips on painting in the future, just ask me mate, i aint a pro and dont always get it right, but more often than not, its from my own impatience. lol.
Well you would of been usefull 1-2 months ago! but all that needs painting is done now and ive alreayd learnt from my mistakes haha! cheers though
lol, always the way. its all good tho, i learnt from all my mistakes too.
