Overspray and (some) shiny bits

I have been discovering all about over-spray! I had not really appreciated that if you are painting something in sections the over-spray from one session spoils the previous one and so on... Time to start planning better and masking as needed.

I was not too happy with the results anyway so I asked my brother who has done quite a bit of spraying (boats rather than cars). His advice as to spray on one quick coat, not worrying too much about the look and the coverage, then wait until the coat was just dry enough to touch and then put on a second coat much thicker.

This I tried around the sides of the roof and got a much better result. Not professional quality by any stretch of the imagination but if you look hard enough you can see the workshop lights reflected in the shiny paint!
