I bought 4 rattle cans, but only used 1.5.
It peels off when you get sick of it. People with 6 months use say it still looks fresh.
Simply clean surface and spray on! Use about 5 coats. Very forgiving paint stuff I must say, easiest I've ever used. Was quoted £120 for vinyl. Cost £27 for 2 tins delivered

Youve inspired me I think I might give it a go. Knowing me I'll cock it up no doubt!

Is that matt black that you used on the front splitter?

Its more of a satin finish, you can buy a glossifier from them if you want  gloss.

To be honest, I've messed up everything I've tried to spray paint in the past, this is the first time it has looked spot on :happy2:

Where did you get the stuff from mate? Also how difficult was it to mask up The gap inbetween the splitter bit your spraying and the top part?
