It does indeed - makes a handy receptacle for all the wires that come out of the top of the dash cam mirror.

Continuing with the colour coding I bought a lower tail gate trim panel off the Bay. De badged it rubbed it down under coat, base coat, clear coat. Wet flatted with 2000 grit bit of cutting compound finishing cut n polish.

New door handle covers they came in gloss black so more of the same. Rub down, undercoated, base coat, clear coat. Can't put the polisher on them but they came out pretty good with a final heavy coat of clear.

Continuing the colour coding theme new side vents arrived I had a bit of basecoat left.
Before



After



Practise my clear coat blend on my old bumper while I had the clear rattle can to hand.

Wet sanded a section.







Clear coat applied medium coat not to heavy.

Fitted they look darker in the photo but there not it's the lighting effect

Replaced os rear door actuator as it unlocked for the 1st time in months with help from a finger and a press of the dash unlock button.

Easier than the front with only x1 clip holding the glass in place thankfull for a dry day.

Moving onto some minor blemishes on the body work before I repaint the roof.
Os rear door had some scabby clear coat peel I had previously wet sanded and sprayed a bit of base coat to protect it over winter.


Here it is before I gave it a wet sand.


I hit it with a lite dusting of base coat and let it dry.


Couple Coates of clear I'm please with it so far will give it a couple of days to harden properly then wet sand n polish it.

Found a warm dry day last week with almost no breeze so rattle canned the roof I rubbed it down the week before half of the roof was undercoat were it had lost paint.

Happy with the finish a few coats of base colour then 4 coats of clear. Gave it a wet sand couple of days later n polish will need to repeat but I'm happy with it.

Looks fantastic

Yeah not yo bad for rattle cans and an on the driveway respray.
