Same thing applies here after the colour is hardened I would set flat that too, then 3 coats of clear. Wait to harden, wet flat final coat and put in a warm oven or airing cupboard. I don't tell Shirl about that bit.;)

Looks good, well done :thumbsup:

Wish I had the time at the moment. As I'm currently replacing both door mirrors on my Silver Zed. Got the X8R bases, and sorry to say I'm paying someone to get the bases and housings painted. As I just don't have the time at the moment.

Must say I am impressed with the bases so far. Just can't wait to get them back and on the car!. Then I can start to get the interior put back together, as I currently installing an extended leather interior and Z3M centre console.
I feel like that at the moment with the mirrors but wanted to get hands on with it as I am working from home a lot this week - it all changes again next week though as I'm all over the place.

Z3M console sounds lovely, I need to do a few things inside the car but nothing major. I am however getting the professionals in to bring the leather back to life - not brave enough for that job

Lacquer is on and setting! It all looks good to me and the colour matches up perfectly to the car! Made up with the results. I'll be putting the mirrors on the car tomorrow!

Thanks everyone for all of your help. I'll upload a photo tomorrow of the finished product
