Lack of technique Joe frown

Also I soon found the brushes I used weren't exactly ideal for this sort of detail rolleyes

I was using black touch-up paint which set alarmingly fast!

Anyway the yellow roof etc beforehand was looking a bit out of place so this was more a fit of impatience laugh

I should probably have masked it too.....

sand it back on the crinkly bits,
Key up the roof... mask the car off and spray it with a can.
