MGTF - New car in a tin. Whole car 'Plastidipped'. 11 years 9 months ago #56051

Hi, just wondering how this has held up, have you had to do much touching up/respraying, also how are the wheels?

Hi, sorry I've not been here in a while, had 3 weeks in France/Paris and then have been stripping the engine down to get the head sorted out.

Paintwork is fine, noticed that after being stood for a month it seems to "catch" more of the dust when it rains so ends up looking a bit horrendous, a quick mop down with a bit of soapy water and all is fine again.

This will be 7 months the paint has been on and so far everything has help up pretty well, even the wheels are still looking good!

If anything the plastidip will protect the paintwork and lacquer underneath as I start to put the engine back together again.

Impressive :) out of curiosity have you been brave enough to try a jet wash on it? The ones in the petrol stations more specifically

Personally I've not done it as it only takes 5 mins with a bucket of warm soapy water but when it comes to taking the stuff off I'll be testing it to destruction!

Took about 15 cans to do it all including all 4 wheels.

So...a year down the line how is this looking? (or is there another thread I missed?)
