what do you mean?

after 2 days of prepping the hood/bonnet time for the paint, for this job i used hammerite satin black as the rest of the landy will be re-sprayed at some point in the same color.
check out the reflection from the ceiling

better than a roller me thinks, dont you?

TWO DAYS? TWO FKN DAYS? What did you rub it down with, newspaper?

Can't tell stuff all frum the pic to be fair. Mine looks well painted in pics, frum far enuff away.
