Thanks for the comments everyone, much appreciated, the suns out today and I want to get it out in the bright light to see how it looks, will take some more pics.
@Jaguartvr - I am told hot air gun ran over the surface, and also I was driving the car around for some time before painting so its had a chance to acclimatize. fingers crossed on this one though. Grill surround is painted the same colour as the car, its easy enough to replace if something better comes along
. I spoke to the painter about extra paint and he said would be problematic doing touch up due to properties needed, so alternatives being looked at.
@DaveP - Yes black is a consideration, however I want it all blingy but may reconsider once all back together when I see what what it ends up looking like.
