Going for keeping it relatively OEM as I'll be driving it to work and up and down the motorway to see my folks etc. and then spend my money and time and efforts making it more minty than on proper mods. Plus I love the standard exhaust tbh.
I used hycote but the can was faulty and it spluttered all over the place, it was also just a pain in general as powder went everywhere. I wouldn't recommend it but then again I probably just got a bad can. There are lots of VHT paints on ebay etc but they are all fairly pricey.
I've heard of others using silver hammerite and having no problem with it adhering, I've also found halfords own brand paints to be fairly decent as well so maybe their VHT is. For my heatshield I'm just going to give silver hammerite a go, that's all been stripped ready for painting!
Thanks, airbox is looking good on the car.
