    Thanx agin gents!
    Righto after a complete stuff up had to remove all the 1st coat...mixed up my thinner used white spirit instead of Turps and it crinkled ..but get this....only on the purple heart. never seen that before..so all off and here we go again...i used a HVLP spraygun this time, used just the can on the 1st go, then mixed some more, but stuffed up the thinning..
    so here we go again round number 2! ting ting ting!



    Oh and just learned you cant let it dry in the sunshine as the purple heart once again is the darker material and the heat absorbtion caused the clear to bubble! oh the tests and trials dont you just love them!?
