can of primer, 2 cans of colour, can of top coat (one part, the cheap kind). All from local diy store. cost me, idk, 25 eur.
My conclusion: i should have ordered black from the factory and called it a day.
Fast on the flat. And nowhere else.

Purple is Digital Violet from Aston Martin

Both are covered in 2K Clear except where the the blue frame is matte black.

This was a very long project I did twice after the first one turned out badly. etoe on YouTube was great.

The full steps after lots of experiments.

Sanding
2K primer, 2 coats
Sanding
Colour, 3 coats
2K Clearcoat, 3 coats
Sanding
Polishing

It took many days, so much sanding, the spraying was the easy part, the sanding took ages.

It turned out good, I love the colour but there are some dust specks in the clear and some marks. Ended up spending £300 on painting supplies... but I learned all about spray painting so it was valuable.

That's a nice color! British racing green?
