I think it needs photoshopping!

Hmm not sure about that

Indeed a photoshop may be in order

But next on the list, that will be colour coded, is the front aero blade

What paint did you use for your exterior plastics? Have you had any issues with it chipping or anything?

I used plastic primer to treat the surface (after i rubbed them down with wet and dry)

Then cellulose grey plastic primer (mixed 1:1 with thinners) [2 coats]

Then base coat (mixed 1:1 with thinners) [3 coats]

Then lacquer (mixed 2:1 with hardener then 10% thinners if required) [2 coats]

No problems with chipping!

Cheers!

Wow that seems really confusing.
Where did you get the primer and paints from?
Because you just mentioned many different things i had no idea youd need to do to paint it lol

Got it all from a place called the car paint company. One of the busiest places in London. They're really helpful and the price isn't bad either. And they happen to be based in the next road to where I work.

Also I uses Cellulose plastic primer which isn't in te picture

You need all this to spray properly. But all bodyshops/sprayers buy this in bulk and just buy a small amount of the base coat for your car
