Yahooooooo result.... or a moral victory at the very least...

It may have been a fantastic days weather...

Admittedly I could have got the 90 almost finished

But in the interest of maintaining household karma I spent it on Caz's cazuki...

The bonus is that I talked her into the same colour scheme as the 90.. :)

So its gonna be his n hers matching off roaders  :oops:

SAD OR WHAT :)

HERS......



HIS!!!



Still at least I'm in her goodbooks for a while and the future of Plasticote is assured for another few months...


Plenty more pics on the site... :)

Cheers Steve

Its Plasticote super gloss RAL 2004 Orange, all I've done is key the old paintwork with 240 grit and spray it on, its a flexible plastic paint that  ive used for years on parade boots (black not orange :) ) and it gives a superb recoatable finish in most conditions..

fiver a can from B&Q, taken 3 cans to do what you can see on the vitara, including all the door jams, under the seals etc etc

Looks good, just a little too much like a certain breakdown company.

The backs of these spots were done with plasticote, though I used a primer, main colour (I forget which black exactly) and then a metallic sealer which is a bit like clear laquer.

It's great stuff, easy to use and gives a really good finish in less than perfect conditions.  All sorts of colours available too, including glow in the dark paint.....

Yep its the 'gloss super' that i used, as others have said a really good finish even if conditions are not perfect, the landy seems to take a hell of a lot more than the vitara, i reckon 25 cans to finish but that has given a really good thick coat so about £125 to do the 90.
