Hi.
Have are wished you never had given out advice to someone, only to see it all go wrong for them.
With plenty of time on our hands at the moment and many nosey curtain twitchings going on I've noticed my neighbour has been hard at work sprucing his car up. Its been spit and polished for many a good few hours now bless him. A couple of weeks back he was asking me for any suggestions on what he could do to the roof paint work. The car is red and the years of sun have left it looking very tired and faded.The lacquer was peeling away leaving the paintwork looking flat and discoloured.. A professional respray was to expensive for him, so i suggested vinyl wrap it matt black or spray it yourself matt black..
I thought being matt black would really complement the car without the hassle of worrying about getting the exact shade of red.
He was quite taken by my advice and said he was quite handy with a rattle can of paint.
Its now been his 4th attempt in doing it in the last two weeks. Each time he's done it, i must admit it's been a tidy job but he will not leave it long enough to fully cure before giving it the final coat of lacquer and polish ( he decided gloss black was the way to go)
Looking at it today through my bedroom window I think he's now given up as it now looks a complete mess. The roof is now a mottled colour of red and black paint as he's been trying in vein to Tcut it away.
I think in future I'll keep my bright ideas to myself 💡🤔
