Not been doing much to the car recently due to bad weather so just sprayed a couple of small bits. Firstly my scuttle panel, didn't smooth it as there was too many curves\grills so primed it, painted it satin black then gave it a few coats of laquer:

Also painted my bootlid handle black, primed it and flatted it then painted it satin black and laqured it:

Next on the list to get some black paint are my arches, bumper inserts and door handles :)

matte black wasn't much different from the standard plastic it had weathered so much! doing all my plastics like it so will all match up in the end. :D

Cheers for positive feedback, to get them so shiney I put on 2 layers of primer and rubbed down between with 600, 3 layers of black rubbed down with 600 and then 3 layers of laquer, rubbed down with 800 before each layer and 1000 on the last. will Tcut them when they've had chance to harden to get them shinier! ;)
