Wet and Dry, Really light sanding. Lots of water aswell.
It was quite a small roller, as it gave me a better finish than the big one. It had about 5cm diameter? Probably was about 10 - 12cm long aswell?

Indeed! There may have been some hard braking going on at some point!
Its frustrating, but its the price you have to pay for having luminous wheels!

Small update I guess... Had so much friggin snow been hard to do anything.. So basically been repairing the car
Corner of my front bumper where it meets the arch, the paint has come off where I may have slid slighty and crashed Bad times!
Fucked my drivers headlight... but could have been much worse.
Spent today fixing my light and my thermostat as it decided to basically just fuck itself during the cold weather. So had to rebleed the system after putting the new one in in the snow today.
Got my new led's through for my indicators, so after repainting my bumper when the weather gets better. Onwards for my plans for the wing mirrors.
This will be along the lines of what I'm doing hopefully, just mocked it up in sketchup. Also got some plans for my sidelights which are in the post at the minute.
Having a real dilemma about my paint choice though, I really love my orange. But I quite fancy trying glow in the dark on the wheels and things? Thoughts on things?

Been thinking more of the glow in the dark wheels etc...
Thoughts on a quick ps?
Grill is the wrong colour, but can't be bothered to change it. You get the idea.
Thoughts on this instead of orange?

Yeah, Just the airbag was baby blue before, hence sprayed it black to get it looking less shit! Won't be an issue after changing the wheel.

Small update. Tested out chalking the inside today:
Quite like this... tempted to do the dash?
Had the awesome idea of having sidelight strips of LEDs shining through where my bonnet meets my lights?
.. Kinda forgot I had eyebrows in my bonnet..
So can't really see them! Bad times.
Going to move them around, and see what it looks like. Next weekend should be some more progress, had to repaint where I had a little bump on my front bumper. Should hopefully get some more little bits done before the meet next saturday!
