I've been having a read Sam, i need to strip down the next and apply a light coating of lacquer before applying the waterslide transfers.
Then layer up the lacquer when it has dried.
I need to sand and strip the neck and then i'll come down and see you with a big pot of vaseline!
Did a bit more on the body last night layering up high build primer, coming along nicely!

Been to see Sam Sam the sticker man today.
After we finished trying to work out text positioning in Word, we sorted it out.
We stuck on a serial number on the back as the test subject which I lacquered when I got home. Awesome.

Have this ready to go on the front.

The body is coming on too. Artic white, now layering the lacquer.

Thanks again Sam, I'm massively pleased with how it turned out.
Oh, and you mate James said the Type R was faster than the Type S lol! Not sure if my hand on his knee made him sway my way

phew, so glad it turned out ok lloyd. great work on the body too.
and as for the difference between your accord and my s isnt a comparison as he has not been in mine since the new engine. @james
his text to me read.
"did feel more eager if im honest and vtec is definitely a sharper curve as its a really clear change over".
well in my response to that is he has a huge 4-2-1 manifold and very loud full system and a forced air induction the vtec change over is more noticeable as you can hear it, also his vtec kicks in at 5.8k so the engine is revving harder in the first place but the longevity of vtec is less as mine is in at 5.2k, and i dont touch him. so he would be biased
