Saturdays activities.
It not till I sit and listen to these that realise how much I need to improve on my speech at times but I hope you will still find it a worthwhile watch.

That looks better Rich, certainly looks like you didn't get any reaction, fingers crossed for tomorrow when you look.

Just had a look at the arch and on the good side of things there are no reactions at present, the down side is I had spent many hrs flating and sanding the surface using advertised techniques to make sure there would be no imperfections visable when the base coat goes on.
Since having to sand down areas ready to recoat not knowing if your going to get a other reaction it is clear now I did not spend enough time on the imperfections this time ariund and have sanding lines visable.

On the plus side I have been seeking advise from various sources including speaking to a sprayer at work this morning and showing him some of the pics. Suggesting I flat back with 2000 grit between all but the last of the base coat I can try and build up the paint in these areas.

If the sun shines today I will get the arch out as I tackle the
Overgrown headge and then see how day goes.

The paint looks very good in that last video
Good to hear you've found a fix, but it's a shame it is £20 a can.

Getting there Rich. Would it be more cost effective to buy the isolator in tins and hit the panels with the gun?

Good to see you're making progress
