if anything you need to machine polish the rest of the car, not the bits you've painted |
That whats I ment the whole car needs polishing, bloady perlecent paint, looks as dull as anything at the moment, but I need to polish what ive sprayed as well to get the gloss look instead of the matt look.

not a bodyshop, a bodyshop suppliers is what you need, 99% of bodyshops only mix paint for sprayguns and won't sell it
not that expensive tbh, my local paint supplers does it for around £7 a can

Might just give up with it all, and just take it to be sprayed proffessionally.
