wondered what the aluminum one would be like.. £65 isnt that bad concidering it will take a good day to do your own refurb, doesnt look likes got the gearbox surround tho

[Bobfish]

i used halfrauds vinyl paint, i suggest against it though - some minor scratches showing already!

Just use halfrauds normal paint - 3 stage it, rub down with 800 grit, clean with solvents, 3 coats of primer at 20 min intervals, 3 coats of colour at 20 min intervals and 3 coats of laquer at same intervals.

Just make sure you get good coverage, you may need to use more layers. Remember though, you can spray lots of layers, but you cant get rid of runs - so apply thinly.

[dj_dee99]

Yup. Plenty of coats of paint is the key. I tend to go for around 5 coats of laquer, though as this gives more of a protection from scratching.

Also, For interior plastics, I usually use a coat of plastic primer, then switch to regular primer. Then just use regular colour and finally laquer it. This is what I\'ll be doing on my RX (when I eventually get chance).

Hi Anthony
 Thanks for the offer,but i\'ve changed my mind,matching the interior with the exterior,so that means taking back to the sprayshop.To much work involved concidering the paint the car is sprayed..
Thanks anyway
