Looks real nice so far.
Can you not get in 1S via Handover’s?
Or Wright’s of Lymm?

Have you tried MRCB in Dublin Shane…..they have Wright’s of Lymm stuff or had, they stock the brushes too and gold leaf. I usually buy it direct from Wrights.
Nice job by the way…..you should introduce thine -self in the hello section 😀

Nice work Shane
Doing it in ordinary gloss must have been a pain

yeah but kinda use to it.(when you have to)
A little thinners just sitting on top of the gloss & mixing it as I load the
brush, give it a near perfect flow.

I fire a bit of u/c in there too Shane if I have to use white gloss….helps bigtime with coverage and takes the stickiness out of it. Long as you don’t pass the half way point it works good and finishes much flatter.
