the aerosol verdict

I was surprised and very pleased with both the colour match and the appearance of the lacquer, which blended nicely into the surrounding original paintwork. There is nothing to suggest the car has been touched up, though if you look very closely, my less than perfect sub-paint preparation shows a small defect.

Throughout all these paint jobs, not a single run appeared, nor any orange peel effect, possibly helped by the fan spray nozzle. I’ll be using quality aerosols for any future localised repairs, though the thought of spraying a whole panel on a Range Rover still daunts me – more practice may alleviate the fear.
