I wanted to try to get this similar to the factory. We agreed 2K base coat and lacquer on the outside, but not shiny in the engine bay, the boot area, under wings and under the car, so this is being sprayed in cellulose.

Under the bonnet painting in 2k

Inside front wing and behind rear bumpers in cellulose
