Posted 12 years 9 months ago #38718Looks really good. For Gods' sake make sure you have a fluorescent coat in the boot and a warning triangle. :broon:

Posted 12 years 9 months ago #38723Hey I had some questions regarding durability from 'the roadster brethren' over at the MX-5 forums (a great bunch) regarding durability concerns. Can't get back onto the MR2 Forums for some reason? So, I don't know their thoughts yet (but there's been a few views from there too). They're looking on with interest also no doubt. Also, I'd like to give a shout out to the UKSAAB Forums, another great bunch of enthusiasts.
Do you think it will last long? Any other thoughts or concerns?

Posted 12 years 9 months ago #38726Its all in the preparation, you need a sharp knife to get a good finish on the edges and a warm can of spray will always produce a finer, better spray!
Obviously its all about the long term effects so will have to report back on how well it holds up to the rigours of being used every day.
The beauty of the product is that I could over spray with more black at any time and it wouldn't look like a patchwork of mess.
Can be pressure washed...

Answer - Replicants or 'skin jobs'.
'Skin Job' - 'Blade Runner' :broon: :broon: :broon: :lol: :lol: :lol: .. You had to be there I suppose.
