Also, makes sure the paint isn't too cold, as it spits like a b!tch, I found this out on a couple of cans... you can warm them gently in a tub of luke warm water... it sprays a nice fine mist then, something worth considering esp. with the temps dropping. :happy2:

I done mine in the garden shed. The cans of paint were room temp and it went on just fine.

I bought mine via  eBay shop but it was a company called Frost Auto.  You can build up the paint a little bit on the kerbing but not enough to make it vanish although the black hides it more.
