i used wd40 and my fingers rub it and it rolled up into balls and came off, then t-cutted where it had been

are you going to spray your sun visors mate? i did mine black to match my liner, just sprayed straight onto the visor no primer or anything and it came out great, much better than i expected

Looks like it needs more lacquer to me, then let it harden and get a buffer and some compound on to it.

Glad you got the running problem sorted mate Looks pretty tidy in that pic too! Have you had the wing sorted or is just not visible in the pic?

A post 97 bumper would look good on there
