thanks

I saw an article in a magazine about DIY painting. Basically do all the prep work, priming, top coats yourself in rattle cans. Then ship everything off to a pro for final prep work, extra colours and 2 part lacquer. You need to use 2 part lacquer but it's something you can't get for home use.

You can always practice on an old or small panel.

I'll try and dig it out.
