its b'cos of da wax... i think jin neva sand the surface properly... looks like he on scraped it out... surface shud be 'wax free' b4 spraying for better results...
no need to use hi temp spray (limited colors).. normal 1s oso can..
better use metallic/ candy tones... looks more 'gempak' ... cost only rm9...

a big mistake i did guys
the silver colour is high temp
its not the candle on the emblem
u must undercoat first before spraying the CANDY BLUE
CANDY BLUE is like a CLEAR COAT BUT SILVER
it requires undercoating , black or silver , both end up with diffrent kind of finishing
will redo mine soon :) u can see the black sticks cos its undercoat black but not the blue
