today there was a reasonable amount of sun light so after giving the bonnet a clean i gave the underside a coat of white..
then i gave the top its first coat of white and its looking good so far. Attachment: DSC01362.JPG after letting it dry for a few hours i gave it a light rub down ready for a second coat. hosed it down to get the glossy look.. Attachment: DSC01366.JPG Attachment: DSC01367.JPG and ill try give it another coat tomorrow You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

ok
today i gave the bonnet another coat of white,rubbed it down and gave it 2 coats of clear. left it in the sun for a few hours i just gave it a rub down and its ready to buff.. as i dont have a buffer at the moment i might end up doing it the hard way... by hand lol.. next thing to do is re-locate the windscreen washer nozzles to the plastic cowling behind the bonnet.. as they have been deleted from this bonnet..
