2 coats and 10 mins later:

That's pretty impressive!
Would you always re-coat an entire panel if there was damage to the plasticoating, or could you just use it to 'touch in'?

I have touched in the passenger door, but have re done the front bumper as a bit bubbled, I peeled that bit off and because its designed to melt the top coat and bond with it I ended up peeling a small bit off to the silver.

Would have preferred to just touch it up for now but oh well.

An hour or so later, 4 coats and its done.



The overspray smoked the fog lights ever so slightly which looked pretty nice, might have to mask up the surrounding area and give them a go at some point.

Anyway neglected the missus enough today....

Me likes that alot!


No Dan do not mod the Porsche

That really is amazing! I had no idea you could get such a good finish for comparatively such little time and effort. Looks great! Might try it myself sometime when I've curbed my alloys to bits

Well its going to be at Pride of Longbridge if anyone wants a closer look.

I can't make it up there make sure you get lots of pics though!

hehe, your famous, this thread has just been posted on Seloc

nice job!

Might have to try that stuff to add some stripes to my MGF...

where did you get it from?

Oz

Seloc? is that the Lotus forum thingy? its the only one that pops up.
Bloody hell I know what some Lotus drivers are like, they spend huge amounts they dont have on a car just to wrap it up in a blanket and call every other car on the road a shed. Cant see them spraying an Elise, let them go for the £1200 vinyl wrap. What do I know, I only paid £130.

Looking at my picture info off photoshop the pictures are being used everywhere, from saab forums to Alfa Romeo ones, from the UK to Germany, France, Hungary its madness and I ended up paying for membership so that my photo's wouldnt exceed the views!

I got mine from Plasti dip UK but its been out in the USA for ages so I cant imagine it being too hard to get hold of.
From what I could gather it is sold in most hardware shops over there.

you clearly dont know lotus owners

pleanty of runs, excessive ammounts of track days, and our own forum racing series (lotus cup uk, lotus cup europe, and elise trophy, plus our own sprint series...)

its a very close, very active forum... lots of MGF owners on there who have MGFs as day to day cars (like myself)...

Seloc is a great place... made a huge impact on my life, and have made an insane amount of friends through the forum, both my wife and i take a very active part in

i think theres about 20,000 members, and normally a few hundred online at any time, with members all over the world... its an odd place, but awesome, never known another club/forum like it...

anyway... pleanty of people running £6-8k elise's on shoe string budgets, who are just passionate about mid engined light weight british sports cars with funny rattles

oh and the plasti-dip was discussed as ideal for race cars, or color coding vents/wheels/spoilers/splitters to try colors out and generally experiment...

seems like a great product for playing about with before deciding to make a perminant change...

how well has it held up on your wheels, any touch ups required? how hard is it to fix/touch up?

Oz.

20k members.. Awesome.
