Bought some plastidip and with slight scepticism thought I'd start on the 'V'.

It's an amazing product, I'm very impressed with it and it's perfect for me as I have very little patience so rough masking off will do :lol: hoorah

Finish is very even and has done the job in about an hour for £16.

My plastidipped Vee still looks like the first day, just like the interior pieces i did (dash plates but also the door handle triangles).
Really durable stuff, no stone-chipping at all... wish i could say the same for the rest of the car :tumble:

Plasti kote is a brand of spray paint. Plasti dip is like spray on latex, if you rubbed your finger across it firmly it peels off. Search on YouTube, loads of vids of the stuff.
