Wel the best way is to use a spray gun through a compressor. The above way is quick and easy though.

was some from halfords, 3 quid or so for a pack with different grit sheets

This aerosol is shit no matter what way you look at it. Its soft as shit the shine dies pretty quick and wont last long.

If you apply aerosol with good practice you can still achieve a very good finish

Prep is key with all paint

Nope don't agree at all.

Your good finish compared to my "good finish" are 2 totally different things.

1k aerosol cant even be compared to a 2k finish in terms of shine and durability. 2k paint is not even that much more expensive when you look at the costs of primer papers masking tape and clear coat you may as well pay the extra and get it done by a pro and know its going to last.

Defo +1 to this and if using 2k topcoat no need for laquor so you cut out a process. 1k spray cans are shite there liks some stupid like 70% thinners hence the nice shine until they dry/ thinners evaporate
