i got a good coat on the bonnet started flattening it theres a big lip where the colour changed from red to black

 

and theres a lip from when it had a sticker on when it was blue

Hi mate, are you based in Mkt W ? Just wondered if you know of any OSF round this area? I've got a Mk2 Escort which you might see kicking about from time to time...

[Guest cortinamad-gonetoo]

boot done now too, thats it apart from try to flat it where the stripe was, and repaint the black on the wheels.
