I resprayed mine straight after lacquering as the lacquer went yellow upon contact. I ended up doing the lacquer very very lightly, did you find a high temp/non yellowing lacquer for yours?

Anyone any ideas of what colour to go with on a red blobeye. Thought about red but think it might be to much. Although red and black would go with rest of car.

I'd go black with the same red as the car for the writing? Would look cool.

I used Hammerite and it looked as good 2 years down the line as when I did it. Preparation is the key.
