After many hours prep coating, sanding, flatting, high build priming, sanding again etc... time has come for painting. The different elements are ready:



That is, ready to go to a professional painter for finishing then painting, as my flatting is far from perfection.

I elected OSG. As an opalescent paint, OSG is a base coat followed by several layers of varnish, then polished. My question is about the interior. Do the shell, boot, under bonnet need to be varnished and polished, like the interior? I am asking because I intend to do these parts myself.

Thank you for your answers.

Yes all surfaces need to be clear coated. Interior, boot interior, and under bonnet can be left as gun finish, no need to flat and polish.

Excellent, that's the answer I was looking for , thank you Bill.
Cheers.
