Does look good :thumbup: Matches the colour of the seat. I shall go that way with it I think. Now to find some graphite grey. Still a little more sanding to do but its nearly there.

Just got these little corners to do on both sides and then the finer going over.

you have taken that back to the plastic, that makes it tougher with lots more elbow work envolved, but you will end up with a good finish once its done properly, i would deffo use a high build primer to take out the minor imperfections, it means even more sanding down tho... :wink:
i don't have lots of experience with spraying plastic panels, but what i would say is try to use lots of coats of paint, practice on an old piece of fairing until you think you have achieved the desired finish. i have recently got a good finish using halfords plastic primer,sand paper as high a grade as 1500, gloss black and clear laquer, a g3 compound paste and autoglym resin polish. none of these products are top of the range products so to speak, but i'm happy with the finish i got.
i look forward to seeing the finished bellypan buddy :thumbup:
