patience x a billion. as soon as u start to rush, youll start to scratch your doors with the knife. and keep cleaning the part above/ below the mould cos dirt comes out and leaves little marks. . get my car back this week hopefully, so ill start this right away. and post results when im done. edit: finished work early, so went and got some paint etc, started painting some spare bumper parts i had already sanded down previously. im using all the same stuff and its come up really well. iv gone for a silver-grey colour tho. ive only painted 1 side mould, the front trim bumper pieces and the bumper support bar aswell, got lots of work ahead of me!!

theres a plunger on the bottom to inject the hardner. its a one use deal but you'd use most of it doing the job. Thats just the clear, the colour is just basecoat and comes in a standard 1k aerosol like acryllic would
