yup - got the article (all 6Mb!!) and have forwarded it on 
on topic - i am wanting to do my car in acrylic with a clear coat...
i would like some comments on what im doing::
i am bogging, high filling, primering and taking back with 400/600 all of the dings and dodgy surfaces...
the rest of the surface is in good nick, and i am simply attacking it with 240 to take the top layer of paint off, then a light primer, and a finishe with 400/600 again..
Q #1 - if ive used primer on one part of the car, and not another (red paint) will i get strange changes in the colour of my final product - ie light dark sections as a consequence of the colour of the under surface?
i plan on using acrylic as mentioned, with a clear coat. i plan to do say 5-6 coats of colour, with the last 2 coats of colour pre-mixed with clear, and then a final coat or 2 of clear over this. i understand this gives depth to the colour...
Q #2 - is this a good way to go? if doing it this way, do i need to wait for the colour coats to fully dry before doing the clear? if i do, do i need to cut/polish the surface of the colour coats before applying the clear. if not, is there any tips for how to progress from the colour, to the colour + clear, to clear for the absolute best results?
cheers
