not a bad effort for a first time mate, the bubbles you got in the Apillar were from applying your coates too close together (i.e the thinner soaked into the primer/filler causing it to bubble up) also known as frying up . with the pearl, it mixes very well in clear and gives you a deeper pearl look(for next time). i hope you have some paint left if you damage a guard because it sounds like you have a pretty unusual colour . and last of all, pull as much off your car as you can(i.e tail lights) because it makes it easier/quicker to mask up and looks better from having no tape lines

Looks great! Wish I had the expertise/patience to do something similar... Autech skirts and subtle front lip would set it off. Never noticed your sunroof til now lol

Yeah the bubbling was a bit of a bummer... only knowing the basics of it all i was expecting to hit a few problems.... just a shame as that was the only real issue. Oh well i will know for next time! Didnt know about putting the pearl in with the clear coat! As for pulling car down.... i really had time constraints and limited space so only did the bare minimum. The rear lights are a bish to take off as the are silicon sealed so wasn;t in the mood to re do it. The taping was done very very carefully so overall had no signs of paint lines!

Was trying to source a kit before i sprayed it but didn't happen. Also decided that since it is purely a track car than anything else the added weight of a kit was a good enough reason to stick with stock items.
