Hi
I recently bought the skinning kit in an attempt to skin a front splitter that had some minor damage on it on my Lotus Exige. I treated the whole attempt as a project and anticipated only middling results as it was my first attempt and a fairly complicated piece
All went as well as could be expected with some blemishes etc but nothing too bad. That was until I put on the final clear layer. Once it was cured it looked pretty good with a deep shine to it albeit in need of some smoothing. I worked through the 400 to 800 grit and finished with the polish. It immediately took on a matt 'flat' looking lustre and frankly looked like a wrap rather than a skin. Any ideas where I went wrong as all was good up to that point? I intend to wet sand at 400 and apply another final clear layer and then wet sand and polish again but thought I would ask if anyone had any ideas before doing that. Thanks
