I think i was talking to Scott about this a couple of Ace's ago...
Does anyone have any experience with it?
What are the results like?
Does it last well on wheels or similar?
Cheers

We were watching a vid of a dude doing it on his 370z
Looks easy enough to do and remove if it goes tits up

Probably better plastidip taking the brunt of a stone chip rather than your paintwork :-P

I want to try it, the UK supplier is just outside of portsmouth.
Not sure what to paint though, I was going to try the roofliner but that's done now.

Fair play  I'll give it a go and see how long it lasts. Apparently it survives jet washing and brake dust and you can actually use it for wheels. Unfortunately they don't have the colour I want otherwise I'd be doing a very cheap wheel refurb soon
Might do this tomorrow night when I get in!

They don't look too bad! Going to have a look for some more pics to see how smooth the finish is, I might just do that instead of a proper refurb.
