Toyed with spraying but the Disco won't fit in the garage. If I do it in the drive the overspray will inevitably go down hill and finish up in Barry Chuckle's garden.
Roller it is - just like the LRO magazine article.
...........and something to fkup (sorry practise on) first. A 99p Mazda RX8 bonnet...........

Synthetic Polyurethane. I share several emails with Jawel and they said this was the best type.
Thanks for the tip. I saw the first few photos of yours - do you have any finished photos?

Well, here goes.
Started with a 99p Mazda RX8 bonnet. Started keying the surface with Scotchbrite Grey pads. Incredibly labour intensive and didn't really make much impact on the paint.
Moved to 600 Wet & Dry. Much better.
After good wipe down and clean with a Tack Rag, the first unthinned coat was applied.
It was quite "orange peeley" so following the guide from LRO mag, I used a second empty roller to flatten it all back.
The end result is very promising. Need to sand and reprime soon. Then the green!!
