#7: Re: paintig gti spoiler question Author: colganraz, Location: LeedsPosted: Fri Oct 14, 2011 7:53 am ---- done all the spoiler. it looks a tint darker than the car though, will it lighten up with drying time/polish?

A few good coats of polish and they were ok but might not be the case for you also I think it can depend on the colour of the primer you used?
#9: Re: paintig gti spoiler question Author: colganraz, Location: LeedsPosted: Fri Oct 14, 2011 11:50 am ---- tbh its getting slightly lighter... i imagine the paint will still be fairly damp and will get better as is 100% dry.. will polish tomoz and see what it comes out like

All on the same day? Personally I would have left each step at least 12 hour's to dry properly.
